Teaching & Leaning and Teaching Behaviors
Teaching Behaviors
Teaching is a social phenomenon where learning is a
psychological phenomenon. Teaching is a system of actions designed and intended
to achieve learning. Learning is a change in the behavior of individuals as a
result of experience. It is very difficult to define teaching as a set of
actions based on models of teaching behavior, they are appropriate for
different types of situations such as form of government, form of society and
social philosophy. This teaching behavior can be roughly classified as
• Authoritarian teaching behavior• Democratic teaching behavior• Laissez-faire teaching practices.
Authoritarian teaching behavior
The authoritarian teaching behavior is based on the classic
theory of task-centered organization. It is assumed that the members of the
organization are primarily a passive instrument, capable of performing a task
and receiving instructions but not initiating any action, in this type of
teacher.
• Exerts firm centralized control. He directs every action
of his disciples.
• Conducts all planning for the lesson and gives all
directions.
• Tell students what to think and what to do
• He thinks and sees himself as the only active actor in the
lesson and sees the students as passive listeners to instructions and
information.
In this way, teaching is limited to the level of memory,
there is no room for the development of students' feelings and attitudes. There
is no room for criticism, even the teacher cannot teach bad things to students.
Democratic teaching
The democratic mode of teaching is based on a theory of
human relations centered on the organizational relation; The main premise of
this theory is that members bring attitudes, values, and goals to their
organizations: that they must be motivated to participate in the behavior of
the organization's system. Worker attitudes and morale are important in
explaining the behavior of the organization.
In this type of teaching, the teacher plays the role of the
democratic leader of the group. His main goal is to guide his students in the
study of significant problems in the field in which he teaches. In a classroom
like this there is always room for the exchange of ideas, evidence and
viewpoints, give and take and respect for the ideas of others. The teaching activities
recognized here in this model are motivation, planning, counseling and
evaluation.
Laissez-faire teaching behavior
Laissez-faire teaching behavior is based on modern task- and
relationship-oriented organizational theory. It assumes that members of the
organization make decisions and solve problems, and that perceptions and
processes are central to explaining the organization's behavior.
