the language is not only words (the explicit meaning), but also the implicit meanings these words convey. Hence, for effective teaching, the implicit meanings for the two participants have to be very close to each other or in other words a communication gaps would be minimum.
Effective Teaching: Aspects and Techniques
Dr Rajender Gupta, Chemical Engineering
In my view science of teaching lies in organising the content, lectures etc, whereas the art lies in conveying, presenting, transmitting and transferring it to the students.A research [17] has suggested that the discussions go very well in a small group (6-10). In a group of four, the discussion gets divided into paired discussions, whereas, in groups larger than 12, it was observed that only a few take part in discussion and the rest become silent observers. There are two main problems in group-discussion: non-participating students and the monopolizing students. The teacher can handle the former problem, if he is familiar with student's background. There are ways to handle the monopolizing students as well
