TEACHING

Teaching is a social process, to define it is very difficult, because the teaching influenced by the political and social backgrounds of the country.

According to Gage, "Teaching is a form of interpersonal influence aimed at changing the behavior potential of another person."

Edmund Amidon defined it as-" Teaching is an interactive process, primarily involving class room talk which takes place between teacher and pupil and occurs during certain definable activity."

Brubacher," Teaching is an arrangement and manipulation of a situation in which an individual will seek to overcome and from which he will learn in the course of doing so."

Skinner- Teaching is the arrangement of contingencies of reinforcement."
Ryans- "Teaching is concerned with the activities which are concerned with the guidance or direction of the learning of others."

Teaching is a systemic enquiry about the ultimate realities in the universe. It is a study of general principles and understanding of all that comes in the range of human experiences 
There are two type of teaching 
1.Formal-Which is systemic deliberate direct and consciously impart by specially 
2.Informal-it is teaching one get the outside of class room

A teacher is great and their teaching profession greatest of all as it is very noble to impart education to others. By teaching it means to me the following. 

T- Transfering the knowledge
E- Enlighting with the present living conditions
A- Alligning with portion and real life
C- Character building
H- Healing touch offer
I - Involvement with the student in studies
N- Nurturing the thoughts into reality
G- Giving a final shape

A teacher has many responsiblities for a student. A child spends a lot of time in school so he has to stay with the teachers. The teachers influence his growth and development also along with the knowledge which they impart. In schools the teachers are regularly given orientation classes, this is just to make them more skilled to deal with the children. In colleges teachers make the students aware of the reality and the situation prevailing in the country. The teachers role is to help the students get a perfect personality to face the world.

Teaching is nothing but brushing the knowledge and wisdom already possessed in many students. A teacher is guru who is remover of darkness in one,as sanskrit maning of gu is remover,ru is darkness.

A good teaching means, there will be a practice of encouraging contact between students and faculty, encouraging active learning, giving prompt feedback and respecting diverse talent and ways of learning.
Teaching is a process were students are treated as consumers of knowledge. It does not always have a fixed agenda and being rigid, but being flexible, fluid, experimenting, and having the confidence to react and adjust to changing circumstances

Educational applications of personality research

Personality plays a pivotal role in students’ experience of school, playing out its role in the relationships individuals share with peers and teachers, influencing classroom behavior, and contributing to academic achievement. Three educational applications of personality research may be distinguished (Braden, 1995). The first is studying the impact of normal variation in personality on outcomes such as motivation, social orientation, and learning. The second application is the study of abnormality and exceptionality.
Educators need diagnostic tools for identifying individuals requiring special treatment because of  dysfunctional personality, and also for recognition of the unusually gifted. The third application is facilitating educators’ management of personality variation. Examples include implementing treatment programs for disturbed children, tailoring instruction methods to the individual, and training social-emotional skills (Greenberg et al., 2003).
These applications draw upon many different approaches to the study and implementation of personality
models in the classroom. In this chapter, we focus primarily on the dimensional approach to personality, which describes multiple continuous traits, as opposed to typological descriptive schemes or idiographic case studies. The latter approaches are, of course, essential in understanding the individual, especially in the clinical context; to do them justice though would seemingly require an entire volume. There are three types of psychological construct that play a pivotal role in the educational setting:
 (a) dispositional constructs, including personality traits and related stable personal qualities,
(b) mediating processes that are influenced by traits and transmit their behavioral and experiential effects (e.g., coping with stress), and
(c) educational outcomes such as promoting well-being, addressing problem behaviors,
and improving academic achievement
