We're proud to share that we are India's largest YouTube channel right now in the field of UGC net exam preparation. So without any further ado let's start with topic number one. The first topic that you need to look into when you are looking at teaching aptitude is the nature of teaching. Teaching as you know is a professional activity. Number two it's an interactive process which happens between a teacher and a student. Third it's a science as well as art. Every good teacher follows some rules but at the same time teaching is a very individualistic process. For example if you look at my videos and compare it to other YouTube videos you will notice a difference between my teaching pattern and the pattern of other teachers. This is because teaching is an art. It varies from teacher to teacher. Every individual has their own style of teaching. You can't instruct a painter as to how to paint. He will do it in his own style. Teaching is also known as a dynamic process. Now it keeps on evolving. It's never static. So when you begin reading teaching aptitude make sure you look at the nature of teaching. Now let's move on to the second topic. The second topic about which we are going to talk about is objective of teaching. Objective means aim. For example I have an aim to make this video. You have an aim to study. Similarly every teacher has an aim too. Now if you're looking at teaching you'll see that the first objective of teaching is to impart knowledge. A teacher wants to impart knowledge to a student. For example I'm an English literature teacher. So I teach my students and I prepare them for UGC net English. My object here is to impart knowledge about English literature, help these students qualify the exam. Similarly students studying and preparing for this exam also have an objective. That is to clear the exam. And let's say get good jobs. Second objective of teaching is to develop skills in a student. You see that you have developed certain skills after passing out from the school. That's because of the process of teaching. And the third objective and the most important objective of the teacher is to bring social, behavioural and desirable changes in the students.

Okay, so moving on. The third topic that you need to study in teaching aptitude is factors affecting learners. Factors such as personal background, upbringing, their prior experience, all these factors affect every student. For example, if a child from a rural area or rural background is studying modern western philosophy it will be very difficult or different for him to understand this concept because of the difference in the background and conditioning. A student will not enjoy a math class if he doesn't have interest in the subject maths. Even if the teacher is brilliant he will not be able to pay his utmost attention. Why this happens? Because his personal interest and other individual factors play a crucial role in the process of learning. Similarly, if my school doesn't have air conditioner and it's a hot summer month even if my favorite subjects class is going on will I be able to pay attention and learn when the environment around me is super hot? I won't be able to grasp anything but at the same time if I'm sitting in a air conditioned classroom and studying the same thing my learning will be way better. Conclusion of this topic is that a lot of factors including environment and society affects how we learn and grasp things. The fourth topic that you need to study in the unit teaching aptitude is characteristics of a good teacher. A student should be curious to learn more and to understand unknown stuff. This is a basic characteristic of any learner. Second characteristic is that he should ask questions. The student who understand the subject becomes curious to know more and ask questions out of curiosity. This is a characteristic of good learner that he is intrigued and asks questions.

So after looking at the characteristics of learner it's time to look at the characteristics of teacher. Knowledge is the first characteristic of any teacher. As a teacher it is very important to have knowledge of the subject in order to deliver it to the students. Similarly qualification is another important thing and this is why the government conducts this UGC net exam in order to see the knowledge. Once that is proved they give you UGC net certificate which certifies that you are qualified enough to be a professor. Next is communication only having knowledge about the subject won't help. You also must have good communication skills so that you can communicate your knowledge to the student. Experience is also one of the most important characteristics of a teacher. A teacher who doesn't have much experience isn't a mature teacher. No one can become a good teacher overnight. It is always with time that you learn the process of teaching and that is how you become an experienced teacher. Our next topic is the method of teaching. Every teacher before starting to teach needs to decide which method is best suited for his or her learners. There was one time when teachers used to deliver a lecture and students used to passively listen to the lecture but now the education system has evolved. Your students learns best when there's a discussion going on between his peers and that is how he develops new understanding. This is how he develops new insight and that is how a learner is motivated to learn more. Now we have learner centric classrooms where through demonstration, debates, group discussion students learn. Teaching these days have become very very engaging. The next topic that we have is teaching aids. Teaching aids are resources which a teacher can use in order to make learning more effective, more interesting and to help learners or students retain better. We have visual aids like charts and graphs, then there are interactive aids which use computer technology like video conferencing, satellite classrooms, then we have other teaching aids like blackboard, audio visual aids. So all these things together will help the learner to retain better, to understand more, to understand in such a manner that there's a mix of entertainment and education. If I want to teach my students something related to science, I would show them a science fiction movie. They'll be more interested to learn about that concept and this is how teaching aids help the teacher to create fun and entertainment in the classroom at the same time reinforcing learning. The experience that I give to my YouTube subscribers is more enriching, more engaging. Comment below which is your favorite teaching aid that your teacher used in the childhood. The next topic that you must study is evaluation methods. There are a lot of ways in which a teacher evaluates a student. We have summative assignments, formative assessment, norm referred test, then we have CGE that is continuous and comprehensive evaluation. So if you look at formative assessments, it happens through regular weekly test by which you are judging a student's learning regularly. Then we have summative assessments similar to final exams that happens towards the end of the semester or towards the end of the year. When you assess the learning of the entire year, then we have norm referred test. For example, class ranks. Let's take an example of rank one. That means this person when compared to all the other students in the class stands on the first position. So this is norm referred testing and finally we have CCE which is continuous and comprehensive evaluation in which a teacher judges not just the cognitive parts but the non-cognitive aspect of students brain as well. Not every student is good in studies. We all know that some are average in studies but are brilliant when it comes to extracurricular activities. For example sports. So all these things are also judged along with the academic score in case of CCE. So friends, these were the evaluation methods that you must have strong grip on. The next topic that you should learn in your UGC net paper one prep journey is about Bloom's taxonomy. Bloom was a scientist and he found a new way to understand how students learn. If you have ever played a video game, I'm pretty sure that you will understand what Bloom was trying to say. Basically, Bloom said that there are different levels of learning and only when you master one level you move to another level. Just like video games have levels, Bloom has mentioned the levels of cognitive learning. The six levels are remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. So if you want to ace UGC net exam, make sure that you read about all the six levels of learning. By the way, Abhithakka video, I'm quite eager to know. How you felt about this video?

Also if you are having any questions, any doubts or if you want me to make a video on any other topic, then feel free to put that in the comment section as well. Last but not the least, we are going to talk about domains of learning. When a student goes to the school, he doesn't only gain knowledge but also other aspects and that are classified in the domains of learning. So we have got three major domains. The first one is cognitive, which talks about knowledge. Anything which is related to the brain is called cognitive. Next we have affective domain. Talks about the attitude of a student. During the school days, the students get to understand his emotions better, is able to deal with his peers, is able to manage his emotional imbalances and learn several abstract qualities like sharing, giving to others. And finally, we have psychomotor domain. Psychomotor domain talks about the skills related to your movement coordination. So whenever you play a sport and you want to have that hand eye coordination, that's the part of the psychomotor domain. If a student learns well in all the three domains, then only he's classified as a good learner. So these were 10 important topics that you must cover in detail if you are preparing for UGC net paper one.
