Reflection on Teaching

It is true that repetition of certain set of activities make a man experience and it improvise the performance. But this fact is true about teaching as repeating the same content and curriculum in the learning process might make the teacher experienced but it does not improve the performance of the teacher. Performance of a teacher is measured by his efficiency to engage his learners, how he brings out the hidden talents, how he makes learning interesting and in brief how he overcomes the passive learners.

I would like to share my experience with my History teacher. He has been teaching since 1995 in the school. His method of teaching was dull and boring. He used to enter the class and says,         “Open your books on this page and asks one student to read the content.” This dull technique he had been using since last 10 years. Half of students in class start dozing in his class. After completing the lesson he used to make the students to mark the answers. He emphasized on written test but students never got good score in any of the test. But he never cared about it and always blamed the parents for not taking care of their wards or the students for not studying at home. He never tried to understand the problem of the students. Even he didn’t think about himself and his methods of teaching. He remained stick to attitude and never reflected himself and didn’t allow anyone to reflect on his teaching. As a consequence, there was no learning in his class and the performance of the students remained poor.
