2. Teaching contains two major
concepts of learning,
The Art and
The Science.

3. In teaching, Art is defined as
“the product of creating human
activity in which material is
shaped or selected to convey an
idea, emotion or in a visually
interesting form”. This describes
exactly what a teacher does

4. While in teaching, science is
defined as, “a study of anything
that can be tested, examined or
verified”. The teacher is always
studying the situation and
examining what they can do.
Teaching is hence both, an Art
and Science.

5. Teaching as an Art exhibits ways in
which the teacher uses creative ways to
teach the students and so the students
find it to be fun and interesting to learn.
It is alleged that even though when using
the artistic methodology to teach the
students, the teachers must know the
subject themselves and research the
material well before they begin to teach.

6. Teaching is a Science that
demonstrates ways in which the
teacher may employ a more logical
approach to deliver the material to
the students. It is a sort of traditional
way of teaching in which teachers
teach their class.

7. For effective teaching, a teacher must integrate
both Art and Science while teaching in the
classroom. The teacher who doesn’t apply
scientific knowledge to teach the students runs
the risk of using the methods and principles of
ineffective teaching. If a teacher is able to
balance both Art and Science, it will make it
easier for the students to learn and assimilate
the information while keeping their attention.

8. Is teaching an art or science or both? Teaching
is art with science. Well, this is the ultimate
diplomatic answer I could find. To lay a one-
sided answer wouldn't have been wise. For
centuries, the art of teaching has been
comprehended to be divine. This wouldn't
have been possible without the effort of
teacher. Don't confuse teaching with being an
inherited faculty.

9.  We know that teaching is art and science. To some
intellectuals, teaching is an art, not a science. They
are more interested in the philosophical aspect of
teaching. I came across many such individuals
who are passionate about this field.
 However, to teach something to somebody, you
must know something. On the contrary, many
can't teach even if they have a higher IQ. Many use
teaching as a tool in personality development
courses. You can also teach yourself by teaching
others.

10. Follow the instructions mentioned below to teach
profoundly.
1. START WITH THE BASICS
2. BE IN A JOLLY MOOD
3. ASK QUESTIONS OFTEN
4. SET PERFECT EXAMPLES
5. ALLOW THEM TO TEACH
6. YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE
7. BE INTERACTIVE

11. Doubts are the biggest enemy of a
student. A profound teacher saves
every student from doubt. So, to be
their savior, you must be clear and
concise. Without clarity, you won't
be able to reach your student. I
recommend you to start with the
basics.

12. Most students don't like over-strict teachers. If
you are such a teacher, you must change. For
them, your absence will be a blessing. I didn't
insist you not to be strict. But, it has a limit. Be
in a jolly mood where they can be comfortable
to ask questions.
Be in a jolly mood where students can be
comfortable to ask questions.

13. A student and a teacher, both ask questions.
I never see any difference in that concept.
Asking questions will keep your students
engaged for a long period. Besides, it will
quench their thirst for knowledge. Being
learners, they might be going off-track. To
stop being distracted, ask some genuine
questions.

14. An example is much better than advice. Being a
teacher, you'll have to fulfill both aspects.
Setting an example eases the efforts of both
parties. It makes the topic more graspable for
your students. Also, it will reduce your
teaching efforts.

15. Teaching is a great way to learn. It
may sound contradictory, but that's
the truth. Allow your students to be
in your place. Doing this will boost
the confidence of your pupils. It is a
type of problem-solving assessment
where you'll learn to adapt.

16. As a teacher, your responsibility is so
huge. You are creating the future of
tomorrow. So, you need to know about
the subject and a particular topic you are
teaching.
It would help if you researched the
topic. Collect in-depth knowledge about
it. Only then can you teach effectively.

17.  Those teachers who interact in the classroom while
teaching is most favorable to the students.
 When you interact in your class while teaching,
students see a friend in you, they open up with
you and start sharing their issues with you without
fear.
 Fear is the major issue that is being the major
problem between the student and a teacher for a
long time.
 If you are a teacher, you have a very great
opportunity to change.

18.  From a scientific viewpoint, the teaching process seems
complex. Human psychology and intelligence are the
subjects that arrive in the scenario. Profound teaching
has the potential to channel all our senses. Only with
dedication and commitment, it can nurture our lives
scientifically.
 A Harvard University research says that the brain
acquires 10% of the total information displayed. This
information is transformed into electric signals in the
brain. Then, the brain recognizes the signals and makes
the decision.
 To initiate the entire process, your teaching
foundations must be strong. Only then, you can
increase the number by 15-20%. So, this is how the
stages proceed.

19.  You also must have such a teacher in your life, whom you
did hate because they were strict. But, their teaching was
commendable. No one can beat that skill in any manner.
 Yes, it is true. Teaching is an art. And all the teachers are
artists. Otherwise, think about a situation where there are
many things which you can not understand without help.
 If your teachers would not make you understand the
things, whether it was geography or history, or science, and
you would not learn it so simply.
 Recognize each one of their way of teaching. We used to
say; the teacher teaches so well. Their way of teaching is so
good. But, the fact was, they were blessed with the art of
teaching.
 But, have you ever thought, is teaching an art or science?

20.  Now, when you know how teaching is associated
with art and science. For effective teaching, it is
essential for teachers to use art and science
techniques in their teaching.
 However, the teacher can not be an efficient tutor
until they are incorporated with Art and Science in
their teaching.
 But only including the modern methods in the
teaching will not work. Teaching should be
associated with the traditional way of teaching too.
 Based on every calculation, it is proved that
teaching is both art and science.

21. The test of a good teacher is not
how many questions he can ask his
pupils that they will answer readily, but
how many questions he inspires them to
ask which he finds it hard to answer.
