Correct Answer - Option 4 : All of these
Skills provide a means for professionals to put theoretical knowledge into practice. Effective teachers should possess skills and competence that set them apart not only from non-professionals i.e., non-teachers but also from ineffective teachers. Effective teachers can not only do things in the classroom that others cannot, but they can also understand the relationship between their actions and the effects of those actions on the students.
- The teaching skill is a set of strictly overt behaviours of the teacher (verbal and non-verbal) that can be observed, measured and modified. Teaching skills have essentially three components. They are-
- Perception
- Cognition
- Action
- The tasks related to setting the climate of the classroom such as presenting content, organising discussion, maintaining the motivation of the students, using audio-visual materials, using a blackboard, managing the classroom, etc., belong to this category.
-
Questioning is a very important technique that every teacher should know thoroughly. Successful teaching is highly dependent on questioning.
- Questioning stimulates thinking. In a lesson, different types of questions, depending upon the situation and purpose to be achieved, are used.
- Questions are used to help students recall certain facts, exercise their reasoning ability, and use their power of recognition and discrimination in enhancing their learning.
- The teacher has to plan teaching activities and prepare students for learning. The tasks involved in getting the students ready for learning are called pre-instructional skills. The skills for deciding appropriate content and its organisation, the pacing of delivery, grouping the students, identifying appropriate activities, etc., belong to this category.
Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that all of these related with teaching skill.
