Teaching Aptitude tests are measures of potential abilities that foreshadow success on

The related task of some future time. The purpose is predictive and their focus often is narrowed to a single ability or small collection of

Related abilities which ensure that the candidates who want to enter the teaching profession have required knowledge and skills.

It refers to the basic qualities required to become a successful teacher. This includes qualification, soft-skills

Intelligence, attitude, and many other qualities expected from a person who wants to become a

Successful teacher.

“By education I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in child and man-body, mind and spirit. Literacy is not the end of education or even the beginning.”

-M. K. Gandhi

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela JD

Concept of Teaching-

What is teaching (Teaching definition)? How it is different from other relative concepts like instructions, conditioning, training, and indoctrination.

Teaching is one of the instruments of education and is a special function is to impart understanding and skill. The main function of teaching is to make learning effective. The learning process would get completed as a result of teaching. So, teaching and learning are very closely related.

Meaning of teaching-

Teaching is a process in which one individual teaches or instruct another individual. Teaching is considered as the act of imparting instructions to the learners in the classroom situation. It is watching systematically. Dewey: - considers it as a manipulation of the situation, where the learner will acquire skills and insight with his initiation.

Important Teaching definition:-

(1) H C Morrison: - Teaching is intimate contact between the more mature personality and a less mature one.

(2) Jackson: - Teaching is a face to face encounters between two or more persons, one of whom (teacher) intends to effect certain changes in the other participants (students).

(3) J B Hough and James K Duncan: - Teaching is an activity with four phases, a curriculum planning phase, an instructing phase, and an evaluating phase.

This definition presents the organizational aspect by which we can describe and analyze the teaching process.

(4) N.L.Gage (Democratic point of view):- Teaching is interpersonal influence aimed at changing the behavior potential of another person.

(5) Clerk: - Teaching refers to activities that are designed and performed to produce in student’s behavior.

The objective of Teaching-

The major objective of teaching covers different types of intended learning outcomes.

1. Acquisition of knowledge

2. Development of Understanding

3. Development of Conceptual, intellectual and subject-specific skills

4. Development of values

In general –

To Change behavior and conduct of student

To improve the learning skills of students, including methodological, critical thinking, writing, creativity, hypothesis etc.

Subject Knowledge

To provide a social and efficient member of society

Nature and characteristic of teaching-

Teaching is a social and cultural process, which is planned to enable an individual to learn something in his life. We can describe the nature and characteristics of teaching in the following way:-

Teaching is a complete social process- Teaching is undertaken for society and by society. With ever-changing social ideas, it is not possible to describe the exact and permanent nature of teaching.

Teaching is giving information- Teaching tells students about the things they have to know and students cannot find out themselves. Communication of knowledge is an essential part of teaching.

Teaching is an interactive process- Teaching is an interactive process between the student and the teaching sources, which is essential for the guidance, progress, and development of students.

Teaching is a process of development and learning.

Teaching causes a change in behavior. Teaching is an art as well as science.

Teaching is face to face encounter.

Teaching is observable, measurable and modifiable.

Teaching is a skilled occupation: - Every successful teacher is expected to know the general methods of teaching-learning situations.

Teaching facilitates learning

Teaching is both a conscious and an unconscious process. Teaching is from memory level to reflective level.

Teaching is a continuum of training, conditioning, instruction, and indoctrination.

To understand the meaning of teaching, it is essential to understand the difference between teaching and other similar concepts like conditioning, training, instruction, and indoctrination. Here, a brief description is given below.

1. Teaching is different from conditioning as it aims to develop intellect and has border scope with the vast curriculum while on other hand conditioning is the modification of behavior and learning habits. In conditioning, the curriculum is fixed and done by the repetition of the behavior.

2. Teaching is different from training as teaching is mostly theoretical and usually refers to classroom learning while training is practical oriented and it refers to workshops, seminars, role-plays, simulations etc. skill development is a key aspect of Training Process.

3. Teaching and instruction are different as Instruction is the act of telling the learner what to do or what not do to impart knowledge of specific subjects while teaching means the development of the potential of an individual.

4. Teaching and Indoctrination are different as indoctrination poses the belief that there is only one solution to the problem while teaching points out that there are different solutions, often to the Same problem

Levels of teaching: memory, understanding and reflective

The Overall object of teaching is to build an overall personality of the learners and it evolves around the development of learner’s capability, thinking and change in the behavior of students.

Different level of Teaching

Memory Level of Teaching Understanding Level of Teaching Reflective Level of Teaching

Key Points on Memory level teaching (MLT)

1. Memory level teaching emphasis on presentation of fact and information and it’s all about CRAMMING.

2. Knowledge or information is gained by the learner through the memorization.

3. It is the initial stage of teaching and induces the habit of ROTE Learning of facts and subject matters

4. Its provide students with the ability to retain and reproduce the learnt subject.

5. It covers only the knowledge-based objectives of Bloom’s Taxonomy. At this level, the student learns to identify, recall or remembers the objects, events, ideas and retain them in memory.

6. The teacher plays a very dominating and authoritarian role while instructing

7. The evaluation system mainly includes Oral, Written and easy type-examination as well organized and is simple so that it can be acquired through rote learning.

8. The role of the teacher is prominent (Primary & active) and that of the student is secondary (Secondary & Passive).

9. Memory level teaching does not improve intelligence and increase student’s capability but this is required for other types of teaching levels.

The Herbartian theory of apperception supports that the young children’s mind is ready for perceiving themselves and the world around. Their mind is ready for a great mass of factual information including concepts, elements, structures, models and theories. They can acquire and retain information about a large number of things, objects, and material through memorization.

Classification of memory:

Immediate memory: when a recall is immediate

Permanent memory: the recalling of material for a longer time.

Personal memory: while recalling the experience, we remember our personal experience.

Impersonal memory: recalling from books, and companion.

Active memory: make effort to recall past experiences, recalling answer in exams. Passive memory: recall experience without effort.

Mechanical memory or physical memory: body becoming habitual of doing any task repeatedly.

Rote memory: cramming facts without understanding.

Logical memory: to learn something by using intellect and it’s recalling when needed.

Key Points on Understanding level of teaching (ULT)

1. Memory level teaching is the prerequisite for the understanding level of teaching as it talks about the generalization of principles, theory and other key important facts.

2. This helps to build the thinking level of students to make use of their acquired knowledge based on previously known facts and subjects.

3. The teacher explains the student about the relationship between principles and facts and teaches them how these principles can be applied.

4. It focusses on mastery of the subject

5. It provides more and more opportunity for the students to develop skills of ‘Memory + Insight’

6. The evaluation system of this level is mainly objective type questions and essay.

7. Student and teacher both play an active role in the Understanding level of teaching

Morrison has divided the understanding level of teaching into 5 steps;

Exploration: testing previous knowledge, analyzing the content.

Presentation: content is presented, diagnosis, and recapitulation till the students understands.

Assimilation: generalization, individual activities, working in laboratory and library, the test of content.

Organization: pupils are provided with the occasions for representation. Recitation: pupil presents the content orally.

Key Points on Reflective level of teaching (RLT)

Reflecting on something means giving careful thought to something over some time. It also means thinking deeply about something.

1. It talks about both ‘Understanding level’ & ‘Memory Level’ teaching and its problem centered.

2. Its main objective to develop problem-solving, critical and constructive, independent, original thinking.

3. At this level, the emphasis is laid on identifying the problem, defining it and finding a solution to it. The student’s original thinking and creative-abilities develop at this level.

4. A student is Core ‘Active & Primary’ while Teacher becomes ‘Secondary & passive’ in this.

5. In Reflective level of teaching (RLT) Hunt is the main Proponent. It includes ULT and MLT. It is problem-centered teaching. The students are assumed to adopt some sort of research approach to solve the problem. The classroom environment is to be sufficiently ‘Open and Independent’

6. Hunt developed the reflective model of teaching which goes through the various steps including creating a problematic situation. Formulate and verify the hypothesis, data analysis and testing the hypothesis around the problem.

7. Essay type test is used to evaluate the learning process.

8. The teaching at this level is not teacher-centered or subject-centered, it is leaner- centered.

Learner’s Characteristics:

A Learner is someone who is consistently learning. We all are the learner at some or the other time in our daily life. To be precise, a learner at a particular time is that person who is learning about a particular subject.

For a decision maker, it is important to know the learner’s characteristics. It is essential to know what factors affect their learning. Learning can be described that the process of acquiring new or modifying existing knowledge, skill values, behavior and preferences.

Learning is strongly based on the intellectual level, cognitive ability, perception, personality and attitude of a learner. As individual many factors affect the learning of a person. They are bound to get influenced by the social arena, cultural habits, and willingness of a person to adopt change.

No successful outcome strategy can be expected without analyzing learner characteristics. Learner characteristics can be identified by collecting the information based on their cognitive, physiological, affective and social characteristics. Different methods are used to collect information about learners such as surveys, interviews, observation, current knowledge/ skill levels and performance result.

Learner’s characteristic

Learner’s characteristics are many such as personal, academic, social/emotional and/or cognitive in nature.

Personal characteristics can be defined as demographic information about the learner such as age, gender, cultural background, maturation, language, social economic status and specific needs of a learner group such as particular skills and disabilities for and/or impairments to learning.

Academics characteristics of respondents including the education type, education level, and knowledge. The learner has social/emotional characteristics.

Cognitive characteristics of learner can be described such as memory, mental pressure, solve problems, intellectual skill, remembers, organizes and store information in the brain.

Definitions of Learning

Gardener Murphy: “The term learning covers every modification in behavior to meet environmental requirements.”

Henry P. Smith: “Learning is the acquisition of new behavior or the strengthening or weakening of old behavior as the result of experience.”

Learning means a permanent change in the behavior of the learner through experience, instructions, and study. It is very difficult to measure the learning but the result of learning can be measured.

Learner characteristics can be described as measuring the characteristics of learners such as behavioral nature, attitudes and psychological towards everything related to learning.

In learner characteristics aptitude is defined according to Cronbach and Snow as “any characteristic of a person that forecasts his probability of success under a given treatment” or “whatever makes a person ready to learn rapidly in a particular situation (or, more generally, to make effective use of a particular environment)” Various components were described in learner characteristics such as gender, attitude, motivation, learner style and cultural background.

Learner’s characteristics-

During a learning phase, a learner faces different issues such as doubts, fear of exam, exam pattern, study material and syllabus etc. These problems can be tackled through hard work, consistent efforts and more practice.

There are the few characteristics of learners given below-

Good learners are curious

A learner is never satisfied. They are always hungry for information, love the discovery and try to find out the solution to problems. Learner collects the information about best study material and latest information which was provided by UGC.

Carefully understanding

A good learner possesses the attribute of careful understanding. Most of the knowledge can be gained with the hard work and efforts. A learner should try to understand the subject matter carefully. An effective learner always tries to interpret the stimulus, combine and differentiate them and give them some meaning.

Learner’s characteristics are divided into following categories which are explained as follows:

Social and Personal quality-

A learner who has personal quality understands subject matter easily and solves the problems very fast. Different learners have different personal and social cognitive power. A Learner who belongs to the different social structure may face the problem during the study at other place but a good leaner easily adapts and adjust environment of the class.

Growth and development-

Learner’s characteristics are subject to his mental & intellectual growth and development. Education and training are helpful to positive growth and development. A good educationist takes the responsibility to himself of identifying the characteristics of the learner and developing skills into him/her.

Willingness to learn-

A Learner is always willing to learn and open for information. He has a broad mental space and accepts the changes consistently. Inquisitive nature of learner develops an urge in them for acquiring more and more knowledge from their parents, siblings, neighbors, relatives, teachers, society and many more.

Interests and attitude of learner

There is a difference between the interest and the attitude of leaner. A teacher always plays an important role to assess the learners for their interest and aptitude so that they can guide according to their aptitude.

Easily Adjustment to Change-

Although, it is not possible to every learner to adjust in every situation as a different learner has different characteristics of adjustment. Some learner easily adapts classroom environment and some feel uncomfortable in the class environment. So, a good learner should adjust according to the situation.

Internal Motivation-

Motivation is an important factor for a learner to achieve their goals. Learners differ in their capacity of motivation. Some learners are easily motivated while some feel hesitation for a long time before they get motivated by their instructors.

Social-cultural background

Learners come from different culture, area and family background. These learners perform in a homogenous group. Learner takes some time to understand the class environment and adapt. It is very difficult for leaner to adapt, understand and merge the different disciplines in the beginning.

Learning power

Some learners very quickly understand the questions and solve the problems. If the learners solve the problems easily, it means the understanding level of a learner is high as compared to another person who takes the more time to understand and solve the problems.

Nervousness

Nervousness is the natural attribute of learners. If the learner feels nervousness, it means that they have lack of knowledge about the things. It can be removed with the help of teaching-learning process.

Application of mind & Creativity

All Learners have the different approach to their lives. Most of the learners accept what is taught to them but there are have many creative abilities. They have the ability to explore the things and think innovations.

Moreover, application of mind is necessary to remain ahead. In society different person have the different profession such as doctor, scientist, innovators and discovers are from the categories of learner who are creative.

A few other important outcomes of learning are also-

· Learning is a blend of new or old learner

· It is helpful to develop learner as well as society. It enhances the purposeful ability of learners.

· It helps the learner in adjusting to his environment. It results in a change in behavior of the learner Learning is a product of heredity and environment

Conclusion:

Learner characteristics which are discussed above in this article indicate that learners have different characteristics which are used to understand the subject matter and crack the exams. A good learner can adjust his/herself according to the situation and achieve their objectives.

In the 21st century, Digital sources also act as a significant learning platform. Effectively coordinating along with the group of learner characteristics, provides learners to enjoy a high quality of life and make a good relationship with resilient, international, creative and confident. A good Learner can understand the value of teamwork, the relationship of effort to output and at the same time, knows the need to be regularly learning and growing.

Factors affecting teaching related to: Teacher, Learner, Support material, Instructional facilities, Learning environment and Institution.

Introduction

Its well-known fact and based on various study to examine the direct and indirect effects of factors affecting the learning process or teaching significant evidence was provided that the learning process and teaching is affected both by direct and indirect variable. Not only this teaching process also gets impacted based on ‘individual’s characteristics’ of learner and teacher along with the environmental factors that influence their integration in the class room.

Learning is the one of most important factor that brings changes in the behavior of the learner…but there is some factor which influences the acquisition of knowledge provided by teachers.

These factors are broadly divided into three areas –

· Learners Psychological /Individual Characteristic

· Teachers & Class room supports

· Environment and other surrounding factors

Factors affecting teaching

Teacher

Teacher – Teacher plays and important role in the teaching-learning process as facilitator of learning. By adopting the best teaching techniques and efficient methods to teach could explore the right talent of the learners to help them towards quality learning process.

It depends on the various factors of teacher-

· Educational Qualification – Learning of different subjects and area can provide highly valued instruction which can effect than one who with only general degree. If you compare the teacher who has M.ED or PhD you will be able to identify the different ways of thinking and imparting knowledge to students.

· Skills – ‘Teaching Talent’ is different psychology. One who has higher degree can’t assure he has right instinct and can teach in better way than others. Teaching skill is all about you connect with students; it depends on the method of teaching you apply, your way of explanation and engagement with students in the class room. Teacher need to have mastery of following skill –

o Communication skills for better involvement and engagement Use of teaching aids effectively

o Selection of teaching method appropriately Passion for teaching

o Human relation skills to act as best guide or mentor

· Experience – its well-known fact that it’s easy to become teacher after fulfilling the criteria but they actually become ‘Master’ with their experience. High Qualification may give teachers edge in terms of understanding the different topics or complex formula but it’s the experience in the classroom which helps you to learn and employ better methods to effect learning of students. This is also required to handle different mindset of different students in the class-room.

· Subject matter – Many time teachers has been assigned a subject in which he is not specialized and he himself not in better position to help learners in effective way …so the passion towards the subject and SME is also key factor that impact learning of students. For example, this is very rare chance that Arts Teacher can give good learning experience in subjects related to science.

Learner

Learner – Learning is most effective when the differences in learner’s language, cultural and social behaviors are taken into account, it’s necessary to take note of intelligence, ethnic group, race, belief and socioeconomic status of the learners which can influence the teaching in the class room. Every individual is different with others in the terms of physical, social and cultural orientation; these aspects make learner different from one another.

Environment

Environment and other factors –

· Support materials – Teacher Support system is set of tools that will improve student’s achievement by improving the capacity of teachers. Different teaching Aid and Support System influences the way decision are made and information is passed to students. Its help to analyze the area in which students are under performing. This also helps teachers to gain new skill to increase student learning by use of effective strategies. This is vast area which included many sub section to be worked upon by teacher to improve overall learning process through effective use of tools, assessment methods and professional development.

o Student assessments and scores

o Teaching Strategies and lesson plans

o Standards and benchmark

o Effective use of traditional, modern and ICT based tools

Instructional facilities-

· Teaching Aids – Teaching aids are an integral component in any classroom. The many benefits of teaching aids include helping learners improve reading comprehension skills, illustrating or reinforcing a skill or concept, differentiating instruction and relieving anxiety or boredom by presenting information in a new and exciting way.

· Learning environment

o Class-room environments – Class room environment plays important role in learning process and it effects both teacher and learner. While this is to be maintained by both by teacher and students. For active participation in education, concentration of students is required. Teacher need to focus of behavior of students along with other factors to improve the class-room environment so that students listen teachers’ voice while interacting with students.

o Socio-economic factor – Economic and social background of teacher and students also affect learning curve. It has direct and indirect effects on thinking level of students and teacher both. Various study of teaching has pointed poor and rich student classify economically and these factor has influence on their learning speed. On other side if teacher is less paid in terms of salary this also impact his thinking level and ways of teaching in the classroom.

o Expectations – Every parents have some sort of expectation with his ward in terms of what and where they want to see their children. This has psychological impact on students causing stress and impairments. It often seen that if student is not able to perform mentally it create depression and sometime leads to life failure. That’s the reason parent’s involvement in the learning process in important to ease out burden on students and helping them to improve learning as overall.

· Institution – Teacher is abiding by administrative policy of the institution effecting the learning process. There are chances that Teacher want to deliver in a way he loves to do but the institute policy don’t allow him to use his own method. This leads to dissatisfaction in teacher causing learning process to slow down. It should not be the case that teacher should allow the way they want but effective planning of lesson and consultation to improve learning path is required in line with the institute policy.

NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) in its publication Core Teaching Skills (1982) has laid stress on the following teaching skills.

· Writing instructional objectives

· Organizing the content

· Creating set for introducing the lesson

· Introducing a lesson

· Structuring classroom questions

· Question delivery and its distribution

· Response management

· Explaining

· Illustrating with examples Using teaching aids

· Stimulus variation

· Pacing of the lesson

· Promoting pupil participation

· Use of blackboard

· Achieving closure of the lesson

· Giving assignments

· Evaluating the pupil’s progress

· Diagnosing pupil learning difficulties and taking remedial measures

· Management of the class

Micro Teaching –

Micro-teaching is a product of research at Stanford University. It was first adopted in 1961 by Dwight W. Allen and his co-workers. It implies micro-element that systematically attempts to simplify the complexities of the teaching process.

Teaching is a complex process. It cannot be mastered in a rigid and general setting. So it is analyzed into well-defined components that can be practiced, taught and evaluated.

Micro-teaching concentrates on specific teaching behaviors and provides opportunity for practicing teaching under controlled conditions. So through micro-teaching, the behavior of the teacher and pupil is modified and the teaching-learning process is more effective by the skill training.

Conclusion –

There are multiple scholarly articles available for factors affecting teaching which talks on the various key issues such as teacher student relationship, socioeconomic conditions, school’s policy, motivation and other. This includes parent’s expectation. So over all multiple factors participate in learning process to slow it down.

To overcome this issue NCERT in its publication ‘Core Teaching Skills’ has laid out stress on various teaching skill and concept of micro teaching has been introduced.

Teaching Methodology

Introduction on Teaching Methodology

Teaching and learning are the two sides of a coin. The most accepted criterion for measuring good teaching is the amount of student learning that occurs. There are consistently high correlations between students’ ratings of the “amount learned” in the course and their overall ratings of the teacher and the course.

Those who learned more gave their teachers higher ratings (Cohen, 1981; Theall and Franklin, 2001).

“Tell me, I forget. Show me, I remember. Involve me, I understand.”

There are different types of teaching methods which can be categorized into four broad types.

1. Teacher-centered methods,

2. Learner-centered methods,

3. Content-focused methods; and

4. Interactive/participative methods.

#1 Instructor/Teacher Centered Methods

Here the teacher casts himself/herself in the role of being a master of the subject matter. The teacher is looked upon by the learners as an expert or an authority. Learners, on the other hand, are presumed to be passive and copious recipients of knowledge from the teacher.

Examples of such methods are expository or lecture methods – which require little or no involvement of learners in the teaching process. It is also for this lack of involvement of the learners in what they are taught, that such methods are called “closed- ended”.

#2 Learner-Centered Methods

In learner-centered methods, the teacher/instructor is both a teacher and a learner at the same time. In the words of Lawrence Stenhouse, the teacher plays a dual role as a learner as well “so that in his classroom extends rather than constricts his intellectual horizons”.

The teacher also learns new things every day which he/she didn’t know in the process of teaching. The teacher “becomes a resource rather than an authority”. Examples of learner-centered methods are discussion method, discovery or inquiry-based approach and the Hill’s model of learning through discussion (LTD).

#3 Content-Focused Methods

In this category of methods, both the teacher and the learners have to fit into the content that is taught. Generally, this means the information and skills to be taught are regarded as sacrosanct or very important.

A lot of emphases is laid on the clarity and careful analyses of content. Both the teacher and the learners cannot alter or become critical of anything to do with the content. An example of a method which subordinates the interests of the teacher and learners to the content is the programmed learning approach.

#4 Interactive/Participative Methods

This fourth category borrows a bit from the three other methods without necessarily laying emphasis unduly on either the learner, content or teacher. These methods are driven by the situational analysis of what is the most appropriate thing for us to learn/do now given the situation of learners and the teacher.

They require a participatory understanding of varied domains and factors.

Off-line vs. On-line methods

Differences between Online Learning and Offline Learning

· The main difference between online and offline learning is location. With offline learning, participants are required to travel to the training location, typically a lecture hall, college or classroom. With online learning, on the other hand, the training can be conducted from practically anywhere in the world. Participants simply need to log on to the internet from their home, work or even their local coffee shop.

· Another difference is the flexibility offered. Online learning usually has a more flexible timescale. As a trainer, you can offer your support via email or through an online chat system. With offline learning, it is typically carried out between office hours and doesn’t offer as much flexibility to the learner or the trainer.

What are the benefits of online vs. offline learning?

Although online learning has become the preferred method for the majority of learners, it’s important not to dismiss the benefits of offline training too.

· With online training courses, you and the course attendees benefit from a more casual, flexible approach. Being unrestricted in regard to location and times means every learner can benefit from the courses.

· With offline learning, it’s easier to ensure attendees are paying attention to the training. Some learners also find it easier to retain the knowledge and skills they’ve learnt through offline training than they do with online training.

· As there are benefits to both learning options, it makes sense to offer a combined online and offline learning approach as a trainer.

Teaching Support System: Traditional, Modern and ICT based.

Introduction

Today, in the 21st century understanding is more important than ever. That is why it is vital for educators to use methods or techniques in teaching that will enable learners to use their knowledge efficiently to solve problem in their daily lives.

The rapid growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has challenged the traditional method of teaching and changed the educational landscape globally. The teaching method is now divided into two different ways of thinking on education, one is traditional and other one is ICT Method.

Most of the teachers and experts have explored new methods of teaching and believe that modern methods or the ICT method is better than the traditional method of teaching.

When we talk about teaching methods then our society divides into three groups; one group favors the traditional teaching methods, second group favors modern teaching methods and third group is the one who supports the combination of both for effective teaching.

What is Teaching Support System?

Traditional teaching methods and support system

Traditional education, also known as back-to- basics, conventional education or customary education, refers to long-established customs that society traditionally used in schools.

· The back-to-basics traditional education method, also known as ‘chalk & talk method’

· This old fashioned way of teaching was all about the recitation and memorization techniques.

· The traditional role of teaching focuses on the teacher as organizers of learning activity.

Providers of information and experts of knowledge.

· The teacher carries too much of responsibility for teaching in the classroom to make sure everything they are teaching is understood by the students.

· Teacher is also responsible to control class where the teacher teaches using blackboard, explains concepts, asks students to copy and makes sure that students are paying attention

· This technique of teaching is a one-way flow of information in which the teacher often continuously talks for an hour or more expecting that when he asks a question, the students will able to reproduce the same thing that he was talking about.

· Every important thing regarding the topic is written on the blackboard and students make important notes from the blackboard. After the lecture is over students revise their notes and try to memories the notes.

· Instruction based on textbooks, lectures and individual written assignments.

· The main objective of traditional teaching is to pass the examination.

Merits and demerits of traditional teaching methods-

· Traditional methods of teaching that are still being adhered to in the schools, it has more interaction between the teacher and student.

Modern and ICT Based teaching methods-

Gone are the days of blackboard and chalk …it all replaced by LCD Projectors & interactive whiteboards in the classroom. When we talk about the modern or ICT based education system it’s include full-fledged usages of high tech equipment in the educational institutions.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education is the mode of education that use information and communications technology to support, enhance, and optimize the delivery of information.

The Mobile learning (m ‐learning) as a form of e ‐learning is a rising trend where the education has outgrown the physical constraints of the classrooms and acquired mobility. Student’s access information whenever and wherever they want, and institutions that provides such advanced technological terrains is rising in number day by day.

· Use of computers or laptops & Technology-driven classrooms

· Smart interactive boards with help of PowerPoint presentation and interactive videos

· Use of microphones for delivering the lecture in the classroom

· Emphasis on understanding of concepts, Activity-based learning and learning labs

Digitization in teaching, learning assessment and feedback improves learning process and it also helps Integrative and social responsibility and civic engagement.

Collaborative learning and Problem-based learning is key aspect of Modern Teaching Methods.

Below are few key teaching techniques based on Modern and ICT Based teaching methods.

1. Flipped Classroom – It’s allow students to go beyond their normal boundaries and explore the lesson before teacher describe them in class-room.

2. Design Thinking & Creative ideas – This involves real life case to increase the curiosity, analytical skills and creativity.

3. Mind Maps – Use of self-learning tools
