  1. The teacher as a teaching aid Dr. C.H. Shashindran Ex- Director-Professor & Head Dept of Pharmacology JIPMER

  2. The Teacher is the best aid • Convenient • Portable • Uses no electricity • Can be used effectively in light or dark • Available all the time

  3. What should a teacher do?(to be an effective aid) • Movement • Use body language • Eye contact • Gesture • Facial expression • Speech • Student talk • Names

  4. Movement • Sitting behind a desk or standing on a dias creates a “ Distance” between the teacher and the students. • Try to have an aisle and enough space between rows so that you can easily reach those at the back • Some movement on the side is essential • Step forward to emphasize a point take small steps to different sides of the class

  5. Use of Body language • Your body should be in your control • Hold it in such a way that you look alert and awake • Avoid slumping & sagging • Just as too little movement is boring, too much movement can be a distraction • When you are alert, it encourages the students subconsciously to become alert

  6. Eye contact • Keep your eyes lively, aware and interested • Move them around to take in everything • Fix them on individual students, but not for so long that they become uncomfortable! • Avoid focusing on the best or not so good students. • Make sure you make eye contact with each student. • Knowing that the teacher demands eye contact keeps the students alert.

  7. Gestures • Arms and hands are a very expressive visual aid • They can be used to describe shapes, actions, movements etc. • Remember to keep still while listening to a student • Avoid habits such as fiddling with notes& books, key chains pens etc

  8. Facial expression • There is nothing worse than a constant frown, which discourages students from asking questions or seeking help. • A smile can work wonders • It encourages the student to participate actively • Look interested while a student is speaking • Cultivate a sympathetic & encouraging expression.

  9. Speech • A low monotone or a high pitched voice can be difficult to understand or grating to the ears • Make sure that • You are speaking at the right volume • You are not speaking too fast • Your diction is clear

  10. Student talk • Break the monotony and give students plenty of time to talk • It will keep them alert • Be friendly • Names: Call students by their name • It sounds warmer & friendlier

  11. Best way to learn is to learn from the best THANK YOU
