The Teaching ProfessionJust Now . Edited

An Overview

Teaching is the noblest of all profession. A many-sided task. Its reward are many, except material. Teaching has its own reward except money. If you insist teaching for money, go elsewhere. Try other professions.

Teaching is fun! Not just a job but a mission to carry out. Teachers must have the power to influence pupils to love learning.

“A teacher affects eternity; no one knows where his influence stops”

-Henry Adams

Never underestimate your power as a teacher, the power to make a difference in the lives of your pupils. Never stop studying. When your enthusiasm for your subject and teaching dies, the teacher in you dies also then you will start hating your subject and possibly your students too.

This is your profession, your calling. This is your mission, to be a good influence on the young and impressionable.

CHAPTER 1: The Learners“Every child is a potential genius”

The Nature of the Learner- learner is an embodied spirit.- union of sentiment and rational soul.- experiences sensation and feels pleasure and pain.- his/her soul is the principle of spiritual acts.- body and soul exist in mutual dependence.(Kelly, 1965)

The Learner is an embodied spirit. He is neither body nor spirit alone.



The Fundamental Equipment of The LearnerCOGNITIVE FACULTIES

-include the learner’s five senses (see, hear, feel, taste and smell.

APPETITIVE FACULTIES-the learner’s feeling, emotion and

rational will.

The learner has the power to see, hear, touch, smell and taste, perceive, imagine, retain, recall, recognize past mental acts, conceive ideas, make judgment, reason out feel and choose.



Five Distinguishing Elements1. Ability - dictates the prospects of success in

any purposeful activity. The learner’s capacity to understand and assimilate information for their own use and application.

2. Aptitude – refers to the innate talent or gift. The natural capacity to learn certain skills.

3. Interests – any thing that attracts the learner’s attention. (e.g. A physically robust student would go for athletics.)

4. Family & Cultural Background – the learner’s participation in classroom activities are influenced by their home training and experiences, either way they become attuned and confident in their ways or inactive and apathetic.



5. Attitudes – the learner’s way of thinking and reacting in the learning environment depending on their personal characteristics.

Some positive attitudes are:a) Curiosity – eagerness of the learner to

know more about an object or event by endlessly questioning until they get the right information.

b) Responsibility – responsible students pursue assigned task to completion despite personal constraints.

c) Creativity – the student’s capability of generating own ideas of doing things.

d) Persistence – Persistent students sustain interest in a learning activity not mindful of the extra time and effort being spent.




Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory1. Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence - People with

high verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words along with dates.

2. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence - This area has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning, numbers and critical thinking.



3. Spatial Intelligence - This area deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's eye.

4. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence - The core elements of the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are control of one's bodily motions and the capacity to handle objects skillfully.

5. Musical Intelligence - This area has to do with sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones, and music. People with a high musical intelligence normally have good pitch and may even have absolute pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. They have sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, meter, tone, melody or timbre.



6. Interpersonal Intelligence - This area has to do with interaction with others. In theory, individuals who have high interpersonal intelligence are characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group.

7. Intrapersonal Intelligence - This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities. This refers to having a deep understanding of the self; what one's strengths or weaknesses are, what makes one unique, being able to predict one's own reactions or emotions.



8. Naturalist Intelligence - This area has to do with nurturing and relating information to one's natural surroundings. Examples include classifying natural forms such as animal and plant species and rocks and mountain types.




Learning Styles1. Sensing-Thinking/Mastery Learner - efficient

and results-oriented, preferring action to words and involvement to theory. They have a high energy level for doing things which are pragmatic, logical, and useful.

2. Intuitive Thinking/Understanding - prefer to be challenged intellectually and to think things through for themselves. They are curious about ideas, have a tolerance for theory, a taste for complex problems, and a concern for long-range consequences.



3. Intuitive-feeling/Self-Expressive - the ones who dare to dream, committed to their values, open to alternatives, and constantly searching for new and unusual ways to express themselves.

4. Sensing-Feeling/Interpersonal - sensitive to people's feelings--their own and others'. They prefer to learn about things that directly affect people's lives rather than impersonal facts or theories.
