Education / Talent
After visiting too many schools, and having detailed talk with students, one
important thing that I felt missing there is the Respect of teachers. Almost 80%
students of every class don’t respect their teachers. The reason, the teachers
are not well educated and even if they are educated, they have not learnt the
teaching skills. So as they enter in the classrooms, just pick up the chalks or
markers and start writing on the board. They just bother to complete their so
called prepared lectures and even don’t have time to see at the pupils that what
they are doing. This situation leads to a disturbance in the classrooms as only
front row of students can hardly see teacher s writing on the board. And rest of
the students, would be laughing, playing, and nobody to see nobody to control.
Now what the teacher is doing after all that situation, just shouting and
passing unpleasant remarks. The result is No respect for teachers. Teaching
doesn’t only mean that you must have to complete a topic but the purpose should
be that your pupils must have to understand the topic. For this, you have to
engage each and every student of the class in your lecture by giving examples,
key points, questions and the list should goes on. There should be encouragement
for students for their participation in class activities. These major points a
teacher should have to remember.
Ability to convey the competence in subject matter so that concept would be
clear.
Must have confidence in one’s ability to teach.
Ability to develop course curriculum and individual lessons.
Awareness of effective use of common instructional aids, including audiovisual
techniques.
Ability to help students to understand the general principles and concepts
underlying a particular lesson.
At the end, I must say, we have to teach student carefully. Not because of that
we are paid of it but because of that the whole nation would have to pay at the
end, if we are simply failed to make them an educated and responsible citizen.
