Description
Summary:Teaching is defined as "the process of structuring the environment of an individual and organizing his activities so as to produce desired behavior." An outline is given of the ways in which a student of education can learn about the school environment, the organized curriculum, the individual learner, the nature of needs and values, and about behavior which is dependent upon knowledge, skills and attitude. Attention is drawn to specific problems particularly related to the teaching of educational psychology. Objectives sought for progress in education may not be immediately attainable, but a long range plan is the first step toward realizing them. The effective functioning of teachers leads to more satisfactory and effective participation of the children and youth in their own groups and in the wider society.
