• T. Dix (1993) defines the socialization process as communicating

and reinforcing positive expectations, behavior, and attributes.

behind a teacher's demands. Authoritative teachers minimize power struggles,

9. Debriefing Points To Ponder:
1. New teachers are expected to bring vitality; scholarly qualities
are not the primary issue.
2. Heads recognize that new teachers need help; new teachers
should not be afraid to ask for it.
3. Mid-career teachers run the show; pay attention to what they
say and how they operate (and on a bad day, stay clear, because
often life is tough for them).
4. Veteran teachers are an invaluable resource; don't discount
them.

students’ creativity. The students appreciated and were
personally motivated when teachers designed lessons that
considered their interests, skills, and needs.
12. There is potential in every student, and a teacher’s attitude and
actions can leave lasting impressions. Teachers need to be risk
takers by being themselves and by trusting their students.
13. ELEMENTS OF TEACHING
EFFECTIVENESS
Teaching effectiveness is important because effective
teaching helps student learning. It has become even more
important as the emphasis on quality in higher education
has increased.
14. The style view

• A common view of teaching effectiveness which
focuses on how teachers teach.
• “Teaching effectiveness is determined by what the
teacher does.”

The effectiveness of teachers is best determined by:
• comparing the achievement of the students they teach.
• comparing the added value they contribute to the
achievement of the students they teach.

19. The inquiry approach
• More than style and it is more than

• Continual interrogation of the relationship
between these two dimensions with the aim
of enhancing student achievement.
• Quality of inquiry into the relationship
between teaching actions and student

Anatole France, French novelist and poet, 19th century
