activity involving teacher and student with a view to the development of student. The main aim of teaching is to bring about socially desirable behavioural changes in the students and can be achieved only if teaching is effective and based on certain values or principles.

ideas. . Teaching is required to give education to the students. Edl,lcation may be defined as the
process of drawing out least in an individual.

The
complete process of education must contain four common factors (i) Educator (teacher)
(ll) Educand (Student) (iii) the subject matter (iv) the context (setting). Now,
education is the process of developing some abilities in an individual. Though
abilities are in'born quality, it is also a fact that these can be nurtured and
developed in an educand through various means by an educator. Education must
also be relevant and useful to the society in which educand has to live. Since every
individual is unique in their own way, the educator has to adopt strategies and
methods suitable to individual ·needs. Education also be productive. The
educational productivity (rate of efficiency of work) can be classified as qualitative
and quantitative. For better education both qualitative and quantitative productivity
is required. Quality means here
the excellence in the part of textbook, teachers, students, aids, facilities and other teaching
aids where as quantity refers the number of teachers, institutions, professionals, etc. Education and teaching are interrelated. Education is a complex social cultural and ethical process designed in a social or cultural content. It is related with social structures, cultural environments, values, and ideas of people, society and government. All these factors are dynamic in nature. So teaching is also a dynamic process and its definition changes according to place and time. Morrison defines it as a disciplined social process in which teacher influences the behaviours of the less experienced pupil and helps him develop according to the needs and ideas of the society.

Teacher's enthusiasm: A teacher must be very enthusiastic.
Teacher's Morale : It is very important in maintaining balance in the classroom interaction.

For effective teaching the active, participation of students IS very important. This participation is done through the classroom interaction. 'This interaction consist of their explanations and lectures with students , suggestions, ideas concepts, and questions, etc. These activities of students make important for making teaching learning process effective, democratic and friendly.
Interaction is required for the rectification of the drawbacks of direct teaching. This interactive teaching is known as indirect teaching. Through the interaction; the teacher analyses the capacity and requirement of students and can bring subsequent changes in their behaviour according to the requirement and can also change way of teaching. One of the most important thing ill classroom interaction is the communication. Communication will be learned in UNIT-IV in details.
SUBJECT MATTER: It is also known as curriculum. Curriculum is a "general overall plan of the content or specific material of instruction that an educational institution should offer to the student by way of qualifying him for graduation or certification".
