What Is Teaching?

Psychology makes very clear that the child must do his own learning, no one can do it for him. Thus, all education is self-education. This does not mean that teachers have outlived their usefulness and that their only task is to act as custodians while children learn. Teachers have a very definite function to perform: theirs is the task of stimulating and guiding the child's learning to assure his attainment of socially approved goals in the most efficient way possible.

The new concept of teaching has made the work of the teacher more chal­lenging but also more difficult; instead of having to concern himself only with a few patterns of effective presentation of subject matter, the modern teacher's responsibility is to see that everything that goes on in the classroom is of maximum benefit in promoting the child's all-round development. According to our modern concept of teaching, techniques of presentation are still essential -and any attempt to minimize their importance would obviously be misguided -but because learning is now recognized as a dynamic and continuous process involving all phases of child growth and development, other considerations have become equally, if not more, fundamental.

Briefly stated, the teacher's task centers on: a) orienting the child from the standpoint of direction and motivation toward desirable goals, both immediate and long range; b) facilitating his attainment of these goals through the intro­duction of suitable learning experiences; and c) attending to the more personal aspects of his total growth, e.g., attitudes, values, and personal adjustment. These tasks are highly interrelated; none can be considered apart from the others. Modern education is based on the principle that it is impossible to affect one aspect of child's growth without affecting him as a whole. Any attempt to restrict education to the promotion of academic and intellectual growth can only be ineffective and perhaps harmful.
