education and Pedagogy

When providing education in a classroom, excellent learning is essential because it allows the educational goal to be realized. Learning has a positive impact on students’ lives because it gives them the knowledge and abilities they need to contribute to society in a useful way (Lee, Tsai, Chai, & Koh, 2014). For me, effective teaching and learning entails four key components: knowledgeable and well-trained teachers, student-centered instruction, adequate infrastructure, and access to information technology. However, learning can still be effective and proficient without the use of technology in order to create well-rounded students who can take advantage of any chance to learn and advance their skills. When a learning institution has proficient and versed teaching staff, learning becomes substantial as they can comfortably teach learners effectively using the available skills and tools. Additionally, when teachers are well-versed, they are able to teach learners broadly and not only narrow their teachings to what is contained in the course work, students are thus enlightened on all aspects of life (Lee, Tsai, Chai, & Koh, 2014). Moreover, a learning system that is student-centered constitutes quality learning since the focus is on the students and their contribution during the learning session. Proper infrastructure is also essential for learning to be complete, when learners and educators have access to proper facilities within the school, learning becomes enjoyable, and the zeal to learn is enhanced. With these techniques, even with the absence of technology within the classrooms, learning is effective since in the learning environment, both teachers and students work hand in hand to ensure the goals of education that is to nurture holistic and proficient students with diverse knowledge and skills, which also include going a mile ahead to become technology-proficient, are achieved.
