students in activities that will enable them

Learning
These principles are the chief guides to make teaching,
and at the same time, learning effective and productive.
Considering the changes in the teaching-learning situation
of the present world, teachers must be guided with the
sound principles of teaching formulated from carefully
observed facts and objectively measured results.

can make them interested to learn. They must be mentally
active most of the time and physically active some of the

Effective motivation arises from students’ interests, needs,
problems and expressed purposes. Although we humans learn
only what we want to learn, it is nevertheless true that relating

unfamiliar.
Well-balanced curriculum
The curriculum should serve two purposes:
a. To provide essential skills for the students to enable

slow learning student, the average student and the bright
student – the three common categories – have to be taught
in different ways.
Encouragement
Daily help to the students in judging their own progress
characterizes good teaching

many learners fail to see any relationship between the
school and life situation.

relevance of ideas.

experience.
Learning is an evolutionary
One of the richest resources for the learning is the
learner himself.
