This unit focuses on the teacher and students' interaction which emphasizes on the role of the teacher for effective teachin.
As I watched the two videos, I came to understand the role of an effective teache.
In the first video demonstrations it shows us that the flow of teaching is teacher-centered meaning the teacher is the one who always instructs and provides the answers to the students without considering the characteristics and interests of his students as well as the phase of learning that is taking place in his clas.
Thus, the students' attitude towards the class is passive since the teacher just keep on discussing the lesson even if the students' don't understand it clearl.
Aside from that the phasing of the lesson is taught in a fast manner without considering the students' absorption and understanding of the concepts being taugh.
Moreover, the teacher shows no interest at all to his students based on his gestures while teachin.
On the other hand, the second video demonstration is the vice versa of the first on.
This video shows how a teacher well handled his class with respect in which he considers the interest and level of understanding of his learner.
Thus, the teacher's attitude in class is appealin.
The way the teacher talks, stands, explains, and motivates catches the interest of his learners which I think provides a positive effec.
The students' therefore, become active in class and has shown clear understanding about the concept being taugh.
Aside from that the flow of the lesson is suitable to the level of the learner.
Moreover, the teacher's strategies are developmentally appropriate to his students which leads to an effective teaching and learning proces.
Therefore, it only tells us that the effectiveness of teaching and learning process really lies to the hands of the teacher.
That's why we should bear in mind that way we handle our class must be interconnected with the interest and level of understanding of our students in order to promote better learnin.
Student-centered approach should be practice in teaching our students in order for them to become active in clas.
