Correct Answer - Option 3 : Natural interest of students
Teachers are referred to as the transmitters, inspirers, and promoters of man’s eternal quest for knowledge. The status of the teacher reflects the socio-cultural ethos of the society as it is said that no people can rise above the level of their teachers.
- The teacher has to play multiple roles in a teaching-learning process i.e., manager, facilitator, counselor, producer, and leader, etc.
- He has to manage all the activities in a classroom that are designed around a learner as the learner is the center of the teaching-learning process.
Introducing new topics or chapters:
- As the teaching-learning process is centered around the children which means the children should remain focused throughout the learning process.
- All the activities or the pre-planing of the teaching done by the teacher should be organized by keeping the children in the center as teaching is done to improve them, to develop their overall personality.
- So, it becomes most important for a teacher to consider the natural interest of the children before introducing any new topic.
- When teaching is done through the natural interests of the children then it will help to stimulate their interest in learning and to keep them engage for a longer time span.
- The natural interests of the children can be games, stories, rhymes, dancing, reading comics, etc.
- The teacher can use these types of things to introduce or to teach the topics in a classroom to make the learning a joyful experience.
-
For example, to teach the topic of "moral values" stories and poems can be used. The children will not only take interest in learning but also able to summarize them in their own words.
So, it is concluded that while developing a new topic, a teacher should know the natural interests of children.
