- Title
On Teaching and Learning.
- Authors
Brinkman, Sister Marie
- Abstract
The article presents views of the author on teaching and learning. The author advises that the students must be taught about their values. Teachers should frequently ask questions that provoke them to action. Teachers should make them think independently about study and expression. A teacher should teach by setting examples of living persons rather than teaching through books which are born of imagination. The other consciousness waiting to be explored is that of the student. It can be stated that good teaching exposes the mind, feeling, and imagination of scientist, musician, poet, philosopher, historian, mathematician at work. Teaching also involves learning, and a good teacher will have no trouble identifying with his students and their difficulties. Certain professional techniques like the case method, role-playing, dramatization, are proving useful in the classroom. Student involvement should be high. Another way of effective teaching is the teacher should identify with the experience of the student, with no sacrifice of his own valuable distance from it.
