Read the following passage and answer the Question Nos. 11 to 15

The constitution guarantees every citizen the fundamental right to equality. Yet after 50
years of independence, just one perusal of the female infant mortality figures, the literacy
rates and the employment opportunities for women is sufficient evidence that
discrimination exists. Almost predictably, this gender, bias is evident in our political
system as well. In the 13th Lok Sabha, there were only 43 women MPs out of total of
543; it is not a surprising figure, for never has women's representation in Parliament been
more than 10 per cent.

Historically, the manifestos of major political have always encouraged women's

participation. It has been merely a charade. So, women's organizations, denied a place on
merit, opted for the last resort; a reservation of seats for women in parliament and State
Assemblies. Parties, which look at everything with a vote bank in mind, seemed to
endorse this. Alas, this too was a mirage.

But there is another aspect also. At a time when caste is the trump card, some politicians
want the bill to include further quotas fro women from among minorities and backward
castes. There is more to it. A survey shows that there is a general antipathy towards the
bill. It is actually a classic case of doublespeak: in public, politicians were endorsing
women's reservation but in the backrooms of Parliament, they were busy sabotaging it.
The reasons are clear: Men just don't want to vacate their seats of power.

UGC Teaching Aptitude Part I

TEACHING APTITUDE
Teaching is a complex process which brings
socially desirable behavioural change in a
person. Teaching is a part ofteaching-learning
process. It is required to bring certain changes in a person according to the need of his
society
and environment in which he is living.
'Teaching is not an act as it is dynamic in
nature so it is termed as process. It is also not
a fundamental concept as it is greatly
influenced by social and human factors.
Teachlng is both artan,d science. It is · an '
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.
Teaching is one of the main parts of the
teaching-learning system. So effective teaching
is mostly depending on the teacher. It is a
common fact that a good teacher is born and not
made. Training and research can make a good
teacher better and a better teacher best.
Teacher should follow various methods of
teaching devised from time to time. A teacher
encourages the practice of thinking among
students. Teacher should give to the students
the' freedom and opportunity to express their
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.
We can define education as "the aggregate of all
processes by means of which a person develops
attributes, attitudes and other forms of
behaviour of positive value in the society in
'which he lives". We can also define it as "the
'social process by which people are subjecte.d to
tHe influence of a selected and controlled
environment, so that they may attain social
competence and optimum individual
development" .
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 proces~ of developi~g
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 a n 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, th~
educator has to adopt strategies and methods
suitabl~ to i~dividual ·needs. Educati~n II,u-J-st
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, teachets
students's· 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 t ime .
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 ofthe society.

Smith termed it as an organised system of worker. He/she must have proper guts to lead
specific activities aimed to help the learner learn by an example at a superior level as he

teacher cannot be regarded only as a skilled in contact with him. There are four
dimensions
associated with a teacher, his competence,
efficacy, enthusiasm and morale.
Teacher's competence : Teacher's
competence has been defined as the e~tent to
which the teacher has t~ relevant subje~t
matter and the pedagogical experties needed to
impart the curriculum effectively.
Teacher's efficacy: It IS defined as the self
belief in his capacity of doing what is expected
from them.
Teacher's enthusiasm: A teacher must be
very enthusiastic.
Teacher's Morale : It is very important in
maintaining balance in the classroo·m
interaction. The various factors contributed to
the morale are psychological well being, self
esteem; commitment to a cause. Knowledge and
identification with the organisational goal. The
teachers morale is a combination of
psychological, physiological and environmental
cause.
These four factors 'are seen in process of
effective classroom interaction.
CLASSROOM INTERACTION : The
classroom interaction between a student ~nd a
teacher is completely based on the climate
created by teacher. He should be able to bring
the blendiness of friendship with a definite
degree of firmness. The interaction must be
smooth and pleasant without any friction for a
complete:and fruitful teaching learning process.
Normally, verbalism' goes on in the name of
teaclfing. Students are merely expected to listen
to th~ explanation and lectures. This is known
as direct teaching. The effectiveness of direct
teaching has been questioned many times and
it is found that this type of teaching is not very
effective one. For effective teaching the active ,
participation of students IS very important.
This participation IS done through the
classroom interaction. 'This interaction consist
of thier explanations and lectures with
students , suggestions, ideas concepts, and questions,etc. These activ:ities 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 tequirement of
students and can bring subsequent changes in
their behaviour according to the requirement
and can also change way of teaching. I

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". It is also a
body of prescribed educational experience under
an institutional supervision, designed to
provide an individual with the best possible
training and experience to fit him foy the society
of which he/she is a part, or to qualify him for
a trade or profession. It is also defined as
"a subject matter, instructional materials,
situations o~ experience that may , help to
develop understanding, skills, appreciation and
attitudes". , Curriculum should be logical, .
psychological and according to the needs of the
pupil and also the society. It should be objective
in approach. Curriculum can be of two types:
(i) Teacher oriented curriculum :''In this
type of 'curriculum the process of selection of
materials content is based on the needs-of the
instructor/teacher. The teacher is proficient in ,
his particular field and is considered superior.
(ii) Child/student orient~d cu~riculum : A
curriculum in which the criteria for the
selection. and sequence of material, activities
and experiences for any particular pupil are the
needs, maturity, interests and experiential
backgrounds ofthe individual child.
In our country the NCERT is the main
institution authorised for making curriculum.
Every state has . his own curriculum making
bodies known as SCERT.Some 'states follows
the NCERT curriculum. All schools affliated
uses. This is the most important step of
-teaching learning process.
the CBSE boards generally follow NCERT
curriculum. At higher _level every university
make their own curriculum according to the
guidelines of University Grant Commission
which acts for the uniformity in curriculum at
higher level in our country.
QUALITIES OF TEACHER
CONTEXT (SETTING) : Previously schools
were not designed to successfully teach all .
students. Nowadays their motto have been
changed. Their nE;W motto is 'DO LEARN'. This
setting is dynamic and flexible. This is
changing in view -of making it beneficial to
society rather than for an individual.
Teaching is a process carried out in .differerit
steps. There are five main steps of teaching

prepare the ~tudent for a new topic or ~

lesson actually begins. The students know
that what they are going to learn. The
subject material should be carefully
arranged by the teacher. He has to
encourage the students to observe,
compare and contrast the. facts presented
to them. This stage requires mental
alertness from the students. The
presentation rests in. the principle of
selection of the area to be covered. It is not
necessary for a· teacher to cover up all
areas of the course of study. He. may leave
some areas for students self study.

Directions—-(Q. 11 to 15) Read

the following passage carefully and
answer the questions-
Radically changing monsoon
patterns, reduction in the winter rice
harvest and a quantum increase in
respiratory diseases in all part of the
environmental doomsday scenario
which is reportedly playing out in
South Asia. According to a United
Nations Environment Programme
report, a deadly three kilometre deep
blanket of pollution comprising a
fearsome cocktail of ash, acids,
aerosols and other particles has
enveloped this region. For India,
already struggling to cope with a
drought, the implication of this are
devastating and further crop failure
will amount to a life and death
question for many lndians. The
increase in premature deaths will
have adverse social and economic
consequences and a rise in morbidities will place an unbearable burden
on our crumbling health system. And
there is no one to blame but our-
selves. Both official and corporate
India has always been allergic to any
mention of clean technology. Most
mechanical two wheelers roll of the
assembly line without proper pollution control system. Little effort is
made for R&D on simple technologies, which could make a vital
difference to peoples lives and the
environment.
However, while there is no denying that South Asia must clean up its
act, skeptics might question the
timing of the haze report. The Kyoto
meet on climate change is just two
weeks away and the stage is set for
the usual battle between the developing world and the West, particularly the Unites States
of America.
President Mr. Bush has adamantly
refused to sign any protocol, which
would mean a change in American
consumption level. U.N. environment report will likely find a place in
the arsenal as it plants an
accusing finger towards controls like
india and China. Yet the U.S.A. can
hardly deny its own dubious role in
the matter of erasing trading quotas.
• Richer countries can simply buy
up excess credits from poorer countries and continue to pollute. Rather
than try to get the better of developing countries, who undoubtedly have
taken up environmental shortcuts in
their bid to catch up with the West,
the USA should take a look at the
environrnental profligacy, which is
going on within. From opening up
virgin territories for oil exploration to
relaxing the standards for drinking
water, Mr, Bush‘s policies are not
exactly beneficial, not even to
America’s interests. We realize that
we are all in this together and that
pollution anywhere should be a
global concern otherwise there will
only be more tunnels at the end of the
tunnel.

The ’new’ women themselves
soon began to play a role as writers
and advocates reform. One out-
spoken woman princely ruler, the
Begum of Bhopal, covered from head

schools for girls, denounced extreme
seclusion, and wrote extensively,
including a brilliant satire, Sultu11a’s
Dream (1905), in which the roles of
men and women were reversed. In

better citizen for country . If study teaching subjects , we find many factors which
affecting teaching which can write in list of these factors.

Higher qualified teacher can provide high scholarly instructions which can effect than
general graduate teacher. Many teachers hold different degrees which is the sign of their
higher education qualification. A teacher is just B.A. and other teacher is M.A., M.Ed.,
PhD, if we compare both, then is sure that higher qualified teacher can cede good
teaching result.

2. Skills
Skill is an ability to do any work with better way. If a teacher has teaching skill then he
can provide effective teaching. Often says that teaching is God gifted but getting good
education training and Psychologize best educational books, we can get this skill and
create better result. In teaching talent we can include following skills

3. Experience of Teacher
Experience of teacher affects also the teaching. After increasing teaching experience, a
teacher learns many new things in teaching experience which he can employ in next time
teaching. First day teacher may not effect on students but after 5 years teaching, a teacher
can more effect on students.

4. Class – room environment

Class room environment effects also on teaching. This environment is made both by
teacher and students.
Without both active participation in education, teaching never effects. If the
concentration lives in class room and students listen teacher’s voice and teacher also
cares the activity of teacher doing interacting with students.

5. Economic Factor
Economic background of teacher and student is also affected teaching. Even salary of
teacher effects on his thinking level. Poor and rich students can also classify
economically and sometime these factors can effect on effective teaching.

6. Administrative policies of school or college or university

Administrative policies also effect teaching. Teacher wants to instruct with his way but
administrative policies is not allowed, so the voice of teach can stop and effect of
teaching may slow in class room.

7. Subject Matter
Sometime when a teacher teaches that subject in which he is not specialize , he can not
create any effect through his teaching but same teacher can teaches his specialize subject
with better way .

8. Parental expectations
What are the expectations of parent on students? This factor can be defined
psychologically. If parent wants to frame up his children doctor or engineer and
continually stress on student, sometime student may not at that rank, so mentally he can
create depression and which can stop effective teaching of teacher.
