Today I just have finished the second day of the course "Challenges of Education in the New Century / Communicative Skills as European Teacher", and I am positively impressed with the way that we are learning things, also the way that we are doing things during the class hours. I have to mention that I was curious to know the general teaching methods, and to go deep into it, exactly in the way that we are doing now. One of the most important things that I have learned in today's class is that, it is important to be a good teacher. Furthermore, to be a good teacher you must have in mind three basic things:
1. You should be careful not to make mistakes during the lectures that you are teaching,
2. You have to be prepared before every class, and
3. You should be enthusiastic during the lectures.
I totally agree with these ideas, and I think that if these three things mentioned above are applied by teachers in every class that they teach, we will already be a successful teachers.
in addition to this, another important fact that I remember and which also fulfill the conditions of being a good teacher is: build trust relationship between you and your students, don't shout, and move freely during the class hours. because this will improve the relationship teacher-student and will reflect positively in the quality of student's interest.
Despite the fact that the hierarchy excises teacher-student, the respect should be reciprocal.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your post. As I said in mine, the teachers I remember with more respect are the teachers who listened to me, who encouraged me, who respected my own views and decisions.
Those teachers who helped me the most was the one who, I think, did less “traditional-teaching” of the subject matter and were “technique-free”.
My memories of those lessons are what I did, rather than what the teachers did, of my learning rather than their teaching.
(^o^) Very interesting Post!

Yes I totally agree with both of you. Unfortunately here on the Balkans there is still "the traditional" way of taeching...
ReplyDeleteI am the teacher (the authority) and you are my student("slave")and you should do whatever I say to you. This does not give the children an opportunity to exprees themselves and be more creative. Luckuly younger teachers try to implement more friendly way of teaching that children try to accept.But unfortunatelky some children use that friendly aproach in negative way by using it completely by showing disrespect and disobediance. I hope thing will be better in future and we will accept more modern ways of teaching...
Absolutely students deserve the same respect as teachers have. But there is a thin line between respect being turned into disrespect! We have not so good students on one side and a tolerant teacher on another.
ReplyDeleteIt would be the perfect situation that both sides are full of understanding and tolarance but as we know it’s not the case. :)
