TEACHING
 
Teaching is concerned sharing of knowledge and experience. Teaching is a process of educating a person with theoretical concepts and is a kind of a knowledge transfer between a teacher and a student Teaching is an arrangement and manipulation of a situation in which an individual will seek to overcome and from which he will learn in the course of doing so.

It is the process in which learner, teacher, curriculum and other variables are organized in a systematic way to attain some pre-determined goals. It a system of actions intended to produce learning.
 
TYPES OF TEACHING
Once we understood that everybody learns differently, it became obvious that there need to be different teaching styles to accommodate the learning styles.
INSTRUCTOR/TEACHER CENTERED METHODS: Here the teacher casts himself/herself in the role of being a master of the subject matter. Learners on the other hand are presumed to be passive and copious recipients of knowledge from the teacher.
 LECTURE METHOD: A lecture is an oral presentation of information by the instructor. It is the method of relaying factual information which includes principles, concepts, ideas and all theoretical knowledge about a given topic. In a lecture the instructor tells, explains, describes or relates whatever information the trainees are required to learn through listening and understanding.
THE DISCUSSION METHOD: Discussion involves two-way communication between participants. In the classroom situation an instructor and trainees all participate in discussion. During discussion, the instructor spends some time listening while the trainees spend sometimes talking. The discussion is, therefore, a more active learning experience for the trainees than the lecture.
THE DEMONSTRATION LESSON: The most effective way to teach an occupational skill is to demonstrate it. one of the two most essential teaching skills is the ability to demonstrate, the other is the ability to explain. Both are vital to the success of either an operation lesson or an information lesson.
BUZZ GROUPS: Another method of instruction is the buzz group. During a longer session, the group can break into sub-groups to discuss one or two specific questions or issues. This allows almost every one to express an opinion. While they are buzzing, participants are able to exchange ideas and draw on their wide collective experience. It may provide a good opportunity for trainees to reflect on the content of a lecture. A good buzz session will generate many ideas, comments and opinion, the most important of which will be reported back.
BRAINSTORMING: The purpose of a brainstorming session is to discover new ideas and responses very quickly. It is particularly a good way of getting bright ideas. It differs from the buzz groups discussion in that the focus is on generating as many ideas as possible without judging them. In this technique, all ideas are given equal credence.
THE SEMINAR METHOD: A tutorial arrangement involving the instructor and groups, rather than instructor and individual.
ROLE PLAYS: In role plays, participants use their own experiences to play a real life situation. When done well, role plays increase the participant self-confidence, give them the opportunity to understand or even feel empathy for other people’s viewpoints or roles, and usually end with practical answers, solutions or guidelines.
