            Teaching
ABSTRACT/PURPOSE 

Ø Evaluate traditional methods of  teaching as well as multimedia teaching  methods

   
Ø Teaching must include two major components sending and receiving          information
 
Ø Any communication methods that serve this purpose without destroying

   Improve Learning process

IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION

Ø All religions attaches  great importance to knowledge and education.
 
Ø When the Qur'an began to be revealed, the first word of its first verse was 
                                                   'Iqra' that is, read.

Ø“Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man” – (Swami Vivekananda)
 
Ø They are not students of our generation, where they sit down and listen. I think 
 things have changed now; they want to explore, cut and paste.
 
ANALYSIS OF TRADITIONAL METHOD OF TEACHING
 
LIMITATIONS
 
ü Teaching in classroom using chalk and talk is “one way flow” of information
 
ü Teachers often continuously talk for an hour without knowing students 
                                                    response  and feedback.
 
ü The material presented is only based on lecturer notes and textbooks.
 
ü There is insufficient interaction with students in classroom.
 
ü More emphasis has been given on theory without any practical and real 
 
                                                        life time situations.
.
ü Learning from memorization but not understanding.

INNOVATIVE METHODS
 
 
 
 
 
TEACHER THE GREATEST INNOVATOR
 
 
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether 

at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps 

learning stays young.

To teach is to learn twice

Teachers should guide without dictating, 

and participate without dominating

The critical factor is not class size but 

rather the nature of the teaching as it 

affects learning.

LEARNING NEVER ENDS
