INTRODUCTION

Greetings!

Welcome to our class in the Teaching Professiion, the noblest one!

In its broadest sense, teaching is a process that facilitates learning. Teaching is the
specialized application of knowledge, skills and attributes designed to provide unique
service to meet the educational needs of the individual and of society. The choice of
learning activities whereby the goals of education are realized in the school is the
responsibility of the teaching profession.

This course deals with the teacher as a person and as a professional within the context of
national and global teachers’ standards and philosophies. It includes an articulation of the
rootedness of education in the philosophical and historical context, the four pillars of
learning, 21st Century skills, Professional Ethics, core values, professional rights,
privileges and responsibilities, and the teacher’s role in society as an agent of change. It
will make use of methods and strategies of teaching that enhance the development of
learners’ life and career skills and higher-order-thinking skills.

In addition to providing students with learning opportunities to meet curriculum

outcomes, teaching emphasizes the development of values and guides students in their
social relationships. Teachers employ practices that develop positive self-concept in
students. Although the work of teachers typically takes place in a classroom setting, the
direct interaction between teacher and student is the single most important element in
teaching.

In relation, this subject introduces students to the teaching profession. It enables students
to explore their suitability for teaching through learning the placement consisting of
observation of teaching and learning as well as limited opportunities to undertake
supported teaching practice.

The subject aims to offer students a realistic insight into modern teaching practice as well
as opportunities to reflect on their understanding of teaching and their desire to join the
profession.
