A teacher's ability to relate well with students is more important than the ability to give knowledge. |
There has been a ceaseless controversy between people in education communities about the question: "what is the most important ability needed for teachers?" Some people insist that teaching skills should be the first requirement for the good teachers but, on the other hand, some argue that the ability to relate well with students is more important. In my opinion, I agree that teachers have to be adroit in making friendly relationship with his students for several reasons. To begin with, the amicable relationship between teachers and his students has positive influences on the performance of classes in learning. To be specific, if a teacher is really humorous and has a strong leardership, so if he can keep good relationship with his students, this creates good environment for students to study. On the whole, students tends to be not eager to learn the subject of the teacher they dislike. Conversly, students probably perform well in the class of the teacher they love. In this way, the performance of students in the specific subjects is proportional to the realtionship between students and teachers to some extent. Secondly, students can learn desirable social skills such as leadership, humor, the way how to make good relationship with others from their teacher. It is well known that students' personality is easily affected by the people they learn from. so it is extremely important for students to meet good teachers in school so that they can learn the good virtues from the teacher by immitating his behaviors and sayings as a reference. In my own experience, when I was in middle school, my math teacher was really good at making good moods and impressing people with instructive sayings. so I could learn that kinds of abilities that I couldn't get from the subjects from the teacher. If I hadn't meet the teacher, I would have became a bluff person who can't make social relationship with others. To sum up, it is very important for teachers to be capable of making friendly relationship with students. It not only enhance the efficiency of study of students, but also gives students the indirect education by showing them paragon. |
