INTRODUCTIONDevelopment of Models of teaching is the recent innovation in teaching. An important purpose of discussing models of teaching is to assist the teacher to have a wide range of approaches for creating a proper interactive environment for learning needs of the students.Educators and psychologist have design several types of teaching models which provides suitable guidelines to the teachers for modifying the behavior of the learners.

What is teaching?H.C. Morrison(1934); Teaching is a system of actions intended to produce learning.

Clarke (1970); Teaching refers to activities that are designed & performed to produce change in students’ behaviour.

Models are mental reconstruction of reality.They are representation used as aids to easily remember parts and or functions of a certain system, cycle, objects, etc.

What is Teaching Model?“A model of teaching is a plan or pattern that can be used to shape curriculums (long-term courses of studies), to design instructional materials, and to guide a teacher’s action in the classroom and other settings”

- Joyce and Weil (1980)

Jangira (1983);“A model of teaching is a set of interrelated components arranged in a sequence which provides guidelines to realise specific goal.

perfect teaching scheme.

Enable teachers to analyze &

evaluate its strengths &

weaknesses so as to plan & implement appropriate follow-up actions

As basic guidance

for teachers

for reflection

during feedback session.

Provide guidance to planners & teachers to

enable them to plan &

carry out the teaching process

Fundamental Elements of Teaching ModelA Teaching Model has six fundamental

elements.

It is the central aspect of a teaching model.

It generally describes the purpose of model.

i. Focus

ii. SyntaxThis is description of how the various phases in the development of a lesson are sequenced when the model is translated in to action.

The phases involved in the different models will differ.

Syntax helps a teacher to use the model,

& how he should begin & proceed further.

iii. Principles of ReactionThis defines the nature of reaction expected from the teacher to every pupil activity.

The principles of reaction give guidance to the teacher as to how he is expected to react to each activity of the learners, to suit the characteristics of the model selected.

It helps to maintain interactive roles and relationships between the teacher and students.

It emphasizes the kinds of norms that are encouraged and the student behaviour that is rewarded.

iv. The Social System

v. The Supportive SystemEvery model of teaching warrants certain conditions and facilities for the realization of the goal.A description of this support system will help the teacher ensure that he can apply model successfully.Support system demands some special skill, knowledge & capacities from the teacher or some special aid like films, self instructional system & a flexible schedule.

vi. ApplicationIt describes the application aspect.

This element helps to describe the feasibility of the models in varying contexts, achieving specific educational goal and demanding specific work environment.

Merits of models in TeachingIt is a natural way of teaching and learning.

It is helpful in developing the power of imagination of the students.

It helps in the developments of reasoning power of the students.It saves the energy, time and efforts of the teachers.
