psychology of learning.
• This is based on the concept that the child is made the
center of the educative process.
• The nature of the child and the nature of the learning process
and the laws that govern its operation determine the type of
teaching to be done by the teacher.

• Good teaching is as much about passion as it is about reason.
• It's about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them
how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful,
and memorable.
• It's about caring for your craft, having a passion for it, and conveying
that passion to everyone, most importantly to your students.
B. Teaching is good when it is well-planned such that the activities and
experiences of the learner are continuously related and interrelated into larger,
more meaningful, more inclusive, relation patterns.

• Good teaching is about substance and treating students as

consumers of knowledge.
• Good teaching is also about bridging the gap between
theory and practice.
C. TEACHING IS GOOD WHEN THE LEARNER IS MADE CONSCIOUS
OF THE GOALS OR AIMS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED. THIS CONCEPT
CALLS FOR PROPER MOTIVATION.
• Create clear student learning goals for each course,
unit, and class period. Structure the course unit and
lesson with these goals in mind.
• The identification and articulation of the learning
goals and objectives provides the foundation for the
instructional design, development, delivery, and
assessment of an educational event.
D. LEARNING IS GOOD WHEN IT PROVIDES LEARNING
EXPERIENCES OR SITUATIONS THAT WILL INSURE
UNDERSTANDING.
• Good teaching requires a rich environment of
instructional materials and devices.
• Instructional materials and devices will challenge
the attention of the learner, stimulate thinking, and
facilitate understanding which make learning more
meaningful.
E. Teaching is good when there is provision to meet individual differences.

• This is based on the psychological principle that

individuals differ from each other in their learning
potential.
• To be effective, teaching must treat the learner as he is,
but at the same time with reference to what he might
become.

F. TEACHING IS GOOD WHEN IT UTILIZES THE PAST
EXPERIENCES OF THE LEARNER.
• This concept is based on the principle of
apperception.
• This means that learning is easier when you start
from what the pupils already know.
• Knowing what you know and don't know focuses
learning.
G. TEACHING IS GOOD WHEN THE LEARNER IS
STIMULATED TO THINK AND TO REASON.
• The best teaching method is that which liberates
and encourages thinking.
• Effective teaching involves differentiation and
integration or analysis and synthesis.
• Generalization of facts learned is important in
teaching for transfer.
 TEACHING IS GOOD WHEN IT IS GOVERNED BY
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

• In democratic teaching, social relationship is

placed on a plane of natural respect, cooperation,
tolerance, and fair play.
• Teaching to be effective must be governed by love
and understanding.

deprecating and not taking yourself too seriously.
 I. TEACHING IS GOOD WHEN THE METHOD USED IS
SUPPLEMENTED BY ANOTHER METHOD AND
INSTRUCTIONAL DEVICES.
• It is an accepted fact that good method is a
synthesis of many methods.
• This is based on the principles that the best
learning takes place when a greater number of
senses are stimulated and utilized in the process.
 J. TEACHING IS GOOD WHEN EVALUATION IS MADE
AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE TEACHING PROCESS.
• Evaluation is part and parcel of teaching.
• Evaluation measures the effectiveness of teaching and
learning and completes the function which is essential
in teaching.
• Teaching is meaningful only when the results of
teaching are achieved.
 K. TEACHING IS GOOD WHEN DRILL OR REVIEW IS MADE
AN INTEGRAL PART OF TEACHING AND LEARNING.

• The teacher must bear in mind that drill and review have
different meanings and functions.
• The purpose of review is to bring out relationships of facts
learned to give new view or new meaning.
 COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS:
• What are the key factors that contribute to effective
teaching and learning in diverse educational contexts?
• How can educators leverage research-based strategies,
student-centered approaches, and technology integration to
optimize student engagement, understanding, and
achievement?
• Is the criteria of Good teaching and learning applicable in
this modern times? Why?
THAT'S ALL FOR
