and abilities. Characteristic

conclude their daily lessons through a
routine teacher-dominated question-andanswer methodology with the least
intention of trying new and interesting
students-centered learning procedures.

chance to incite “own learning
actions” which are often branded as
misbehavior.

relationship, one that is brought about
by pleasing and gracious attitude.

temperaments that can either attract
or distract students attention and

so stiff, unattractive and
unapproachable such that students
feel repulsed with no one to turn to.

anticipate trouble so that minor
skirmishes may not erupt to fullfledged battles”.

tasks ensure active involvement and
participation rather than passive
attention as in routine activities.

misdirection of efforts and interactions
are fast to switch from one technique to
another as the need arises. There must be
clear understanding and the objectives of
the lesson and the strategies to be used.
Any misstep in procedures will then be
avoided. But if the continuous flow of
the activity is hampered by uncontrolled
action, then the ability of the teacher to
shift to an alternate activity will be
necessary.
21. c) Of prime importance are the teachers‟
personal attributes such as:
a. Patience
b. Compassion
c. Concern and caring attitudes

favoritism, and biased treatment for
some, treat them all equally.

will determine how the
students will respond, at time
receptive, sometimes
withdrawn. This point to the
way they move around during
the class activity, how they
give orders in the form of
requests and how the
procedures are clearly
explained.
25. Involving everyone on a planning
to the implementing of the lesson
results in well-coordinated
investigations and discussions of
finding, thus leaving no one in
drawing correct conclusions.
