JOSE JOSEPH, DR. IMTISUNGBA

Abstract

Teacher effectiveness is the competence and ability of a teacher to teach effectively and it is the single most important school-based factor in student success. Effective teachers are those who achieve the goals which they set for themselves or which they have set for them by others such as ministry of education, legislators and other government officials, school/college administrators. Effective teachers tend to be aware of and actively pursue goals. Their teaching is an intentional and reasoned act. The teachers’ goals are, or should be, concerned either directly or indirectly with their students’ learning. Effective teachers must possess the knowledge and skills needed to attain the goals, and must be able to use that knowledge and those skills appropriately if these goals are to be achieved. ‘Effectiveness in Teaching’ is vast and a large portion of the literature has been focused on the effectiveness, or perceived effectiveness in terms of interactive teaching strategies. The present study is an attempt to find out teacher effectiveness of Catholic Schools in Nagaland.
