1. TEACHING AS AN ART AS WELL AS SCIENCE Prepared by Lalsiamkima Hnamte III Semester M.ed Mizoram University

2. Teaching Is An Art Or Science Teaching contains two major concepts of learning, The Art and T he Science.

3. What is Art? In teaching, Art is defined as “the product of creating human activity in which material is shaped or selected to convey an idea, emotion or in a visually interesting form”. This describes exactly what a teacher does

4. What is Science? While in teaching, science is defined as, “a study of anything that can be tested, examined or verified”. The teacher is always studying the situation and examining what they can do. Teaching is hence both, an Art and Science.

5.   Teaching as an Art Teaching as an Art exhibits ways in which the teacher uses creative ways to teach the students and so the students find it to be fun and interesting to learn. It is alleged that even though when using the artistic methodology to teach the students, the teachers must know the subject themselves and research the material well before they begin to teach.

6. Teaching is a Science Teaching is a Science that demonstrates ways in which the teacher may employ a more logical approach to deliver the material to the students. It is a sort of traditional way of teaching in which teachers teach their class.

7. Teaching as an art and science For effective teaching, a teacher must integrate both Art and Science while teaching in the classroom. The teacher who doesn’t apply scientific knowledge to teach the students runs the risk of using the methods and principles of ineffective teaching. If a teacher is able to balance both Art and Science, it will make it easier for the students to learn and assimilate the information while keeping their attention.

8. IS TEACHING AN ART OR SCIENCE? Is teaching an art or science or both? Teaching is art with science. Well, this is the ultimate diplomatic answer I could find. To lay a one-sided answer wouldn't have been wise. For centuries, the art of teaching has been comprehended to be divine. This wouldn't have been possible without the effort of teacher. Don't confuse teaching with being an inherited faculty.

9. TEACHING AS AN ART We know that teaching is art and science. To some intellectuals, teaching is an art, not a science. They are more interested in the philosophical aspect of teaching. I came across many such individuals who are passionate about this field.   However, to teach something to somebody, you must know something. On the contrary, many can't teach even if they have a higher IQ. Many use teaching as a tool in personality development courses. You can also teach yourself by teaching others.

10. HOW TO LEARN TEACHING? Follow the instructions mentioned below to teach profoundly . 1. START WITH THE BASICS 2. BE IN A JOLLY MOOD 3. ASK QUESTIONS OFTEN 4. SET PERFECT EXAMPLES 5. ALLOW THEM TO TEACH 6. YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE 7. BE INTERACTIVE

11. START WITH THE BASICS Doubts are the biggest enemy of a student. A profound teacher saves every student from doubt. So, to be their savior, you must be clear and concise. Without clarity, you won't be able to reach your student. I recommend you to start with the basics.

12. BE IN A JOLLY MOOD Most students don't like over-strict teachers. If you are such a teacher, you must change. For them, your absence will be a blessing. I didn't insist you not to be strict. But, it has a limit. Be in a jolly mood where they can be comfortable to ask questions . Be in a jolly mood where students can be comfortable to ask questions.

13. ASK QUESTIONS OFTEN A student and a teacher, both ask questions. I never see any difference in that concept. Asking questions will keep your students engaged for a long period. Besides, it will quench their thirst for knowledge. Being learners, they might be going off-track. To stop being distracted, ask some genuine questions . Asking questions will keep your students engaged for a long period. Besides, it will quench their thirst for knowledge.

14. SET PERFECT EXAMPLES An example is much better than advice. Being a teacher, you'll have to fulfill both aspects. Setting an example eases the efforts of both parties. It makes the topic more graspable for your students. Also, it will reduce your teaching efforts . Setting an example eases the efforts of both parties. It makes the topic more graspable for your students. Also, it will reduce your teaching efforts.

15. ALLOW THEM TO TEACH Teaching is a great way to learn. It may sound contradictory, but that's the truth. Allow your students to be in your place. Doing this will boost the confidence of your pupils. It is a type of problem-solving assessment where you'll learn to adapt.

16. YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE As a teacher, your responsibility is so huge. You are creating the future of tomorrow. So, you need to know about the subject and a particular topic you are teaching. It would help if you researched the topic. Collect in-depth knowledge about it. Only then can you teach effectively.

17. BE INTERACTIVE Those teachers who interact in the classroom while teaching is most favorable to the students. When you interact in your class while teaching, students see a friend in you, they open up with you and start sharing their issues with you without fear. Fear is the major issue that is being the major problem between the student and a teacher for a long time. If you are a teacher, you have a very great opportunity to change.

18. THE SCIENTIFIC ASPECT OF TEACHING From a scientific viewpoint, the teaching process seems complex. Human psychology and intelligence are the subjects that arrive in the scenario. Profound teaching has the potential to channel all our senses. Only with dedication and commitment, it can nurture our lives scientifically. A Harvard University research says that the brain acquires 10% of the total information displayed. This information is transformed into electric signals in the brain. Then, the brain recognizes the signals and makes the decision. To initiate the entire process, your teaching foundations must be strong. Only then, you can increase the number by 15-20%. So, this is how the stages proceed.

19. TEACHING SKILLS You also must have such a teacher in your life, whom you did hate because they were strict. But, their teaching was commendable. No one can beat that skill in any manner. Yes, it is true. Teaching is an art. And all the teachers are artists. Otherwise, think about a situation where there are many things which you can not understand without help. If your teachers would not make you understand the things, whether it was geography or history, or science, and you would not learn it so simply. Recognize each one of their way of teaching. We used to say; the teacher teaches so well. Their way of teaching is so good. But, the fact was, they were blessed with the art of teaching. But, have you ever thought, is teaching an art or science ?

20. CONCLUSION Now, when you know how teaching is associated with art and science. For effective teaching, it is essential for teachers to use art and science techniques in their teaching. However, the teacher can not be an efficient tutor until they are incorporated with Art and Science in their teaching. But only including the modern methods in the teaching will not work. Teaching should be associated with the traditional way of teaching too. Based on every calculation, it is proved that teaching is both art and science.

21. The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask which he finds it hard to answer . ― Alice Wellington Rollins
