Three teaching abilities
On Tuseday 30th July, 2014 I study about content
of Three teaching abilities.
To be an effective
teacher, you need (at least) three abilities:Classroom management: the ability to manage discipline.,Teaching skills: the ability to impart
knowledge., Subject knowledge: the knowledge to impart It is
an important for their many teacher. The teacher need all three of these abilities. Without
subject knowledge, you have nothing to teach. Without teaching skills, you will
not be able to get it through to the people in your classroom. And without
discipline, your class will not give you the attention you need to be able to
use your teaching skills as following;
Classroom management is largely about discipline. It is about maintaining order and
control, which is based on students acting in ways that support their own
learning as well as that of others.
Many young students act in disruptive ways, mostly due to the
difficult psychology of maturation and learning to live in society. This knowledge
seems little help to the teacher struggling to be heard but getting inside
their heads is a powerful process. Just like negotiation, if you can get inside their heads you are most of
the way there. If you can go from 'me vs. them' to 'me with them' (not,
however, an undifferentiated 'us') then you can make a huge difference.
Classroom management is very difficult for some teachers in some
situations. It can, however, be learned. Indeed it must be, if the teacher is
to retain sanity and be allowed to teach.
Once classroom discipline is established, the
next big trick is to transfer what is in your head into theirs. For this there
are three key attributes of the teaching skill that you need.
At the minimum teaching is of basic functional skills, showing
them how to do things by rote, repeating actions and words until, given a
suitable stimulus, they are able to reproduce an effective response.
I think that subject knowledge is a basic for teaching. If
you do not know your subject then it is impossible to teach it. Worse, you may
impart false knowledge and send out many people into the world with information
they believe is true but which may serve them badly in years to come.
In teaching children, it may seem that the teacher only needs to
know the child's level of knowledge. Yet one reason a deep subject knowledge is
needed is that students ask questions, often very penetrating ones, that
require a deep understanding that can reach even to philosophical ideas.
