EDUCATION AND SOME HURDLES -5

EDUCATION AND SOME HURDLES -5   

 [Collective effort-3]

Teaching is a mind game –true; it readily establishes proximity between the donor [the teacher] and the recipient[s] [the learners]. The situation is not too easy to define or describe in terms /words.

It is simply a bond that falls in place –only if the two categories of mind in this ensemble manage to perceive each other.  Sans, this mutual perception, teaching would prove itself a herculean effort, more frustrating than fascinating.

If this criterion escapes your faculty of comprehension, recall how many of your teachers manage to ‘impress’ you by their clarity. Also consider- how many students in a batch generally found that teacher-the most acceptable. 

Without getting into irrelevant parameters, if you assess ‘teacher performance’ for his/her utility as an able instructor, it comes to the fore that the person manages to make wards understand most of what [s]he explains.

What does this mean?

The person keeps self, oriented well before meeting a class. That is the key element for a teacher to succeed. The person is absolutely clear and thorough of what [s]he transacts in a session.

Such teachers effectively reach the learner minds at will, for- they know how to articulate an idea or an issue. Also, they refrain from taking stands on any disputed opinion; but faithfully present both sides of an argument as true educators.

Besides clarity, objectivity in presenting facts is a hallmark of  appropriate teaching.

Why all these?

Any class or session of learning ought to provide clarity to the learners. In achieving it, teachers strive in different ways known to them. Methodology is a matter of personal preference; but, the spirit of the effort [being purposeful] is the same, independent of the individuals and the level at which they teach.

If so, the operational mechanics may vary, though, the ultimate purpose stays the same. Stated in plain terms, the process [teaching] must enlighten the recipient to the best possible extent.  Enlightening survives on clarity.

In the pretext of providing clarity, teachers should never struggle. The most convincing statements, delivered with ease achieve clarity in the least time.
