1. The effective teacher would use the authoritative approach which is described by Whitton, D, (2004, p186) “Authoritative teachers provide and effective model of competence. Established expectations are rationalised to explain their purpose. Students are encouraged to think of the benefits associated with certain procedures”.

2. Motivational Theories What it takes to be an effective teacher in the year 2010 and beyond.... As with learning, different theories of motivation offer frameworks for understanding student motivation. Theoretical views of motivation are outlined as: Behaviorist Theories Congnitive and Social Cognitive Theories Sociocultural Theories Humanistic Theories “Motivation is the process whereby goal-directed activity is instigated and sustained” (Schunk, Pintrich & Meece, 2008,p.4). Student motivation lies in the core of influencing performance and acheivement at school. With the fast growing technological advances and a growing knowledge base, it is essential that motivation be continuous. Incomplete

3. What it takes to be an effective teacher in the year 2010 and beyond.... How Motivation Impacts on Learning Student motivation influences both the learning journey and the meeting of expected outcomes. Motivation can be grouped into two broad categories. These are Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation. “Extrinsic motivation is motivation to engage in an activity as a means to an end, whereas Intrinsic motivation is motivation to be involved in an activity for it’s own sake” (Schunk et al., 2008). Students Needs and Motivation to Learn Three theories based on students needs are defined as:  Maslow’s hierarchy of needs  The need for self-determination  The need to preserve self-worth Self-actualization (reaching one’s full potential) Self-actualization (reaching one’s full potential) Self-esteem (recognition and approval) Self-esteem (recognition and approval) Belonging (love and acceptance from family and peers) Belonging (love and acceptance from family and peers) Safety (freedom from physical or emotional threat) Safety (freedom from physical or emotional threat) Survival (shelter, warmth, food, water) Survival (shelter, warmth, food, water) Maslow’s hierarchy of needs Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Figure 10.3, Eggen &……… Growth needs Deficiency needs

5. Professional Knowledge Base What it takes to be an effective teacher in the year 2010 and beyond.... To ensure a Professional knowledge base educators must commit to lifelong learning which involves keeping up with and understanding of technologies used to be able to implement them into the classroom to support students of today and the future. Ongoing training in these technologies is a requirement of teachers. A professional knowledge base can be achieved through in-service training days held at the school and informal training days which take place during staff development days. “As professional’s, teachers need to update and improve their expertise and practice continually through formal and informal professional development” Groundwater-Smith, (2007, p334). Classroom management and organisation along with creating a positive classroom environment are also paramount in being an effective teacher. As said by Groundwater-Smith, (2007, p334) teachers should “involve themselves in research to strengthen and expand the knowledge base of teaching” and “be advocates for students and the teaching profession”. The effective teacher’s knowledge needs to cover the social, cultural and learning needs of all students and knowledge of developmental characteristics of each individual student. Incomplete Pedagogical Knowledge Knowledge of Content and Pedagogical Content knowledge differ from General Pedagogical knowledge in that they are domain specific, meaning they cover knowledge of particular areas. General Pedagogical knowledge “Involves and understanding of essential principles of instruction and classroom management that transcends individual topics or subject matter areas (Borko & Putnam, 1996; Darling-Hammond & Bransford, 2005) General Pedagogical Knowledge Instructional Strategies Classroom Management

6. Theory of Cooperative Learning & It’s Impact on the Classroom What it takes to be an effective teacher in the year 2010 and beyond.... Collaborative and cooperative learning describes students working together in established groups to achieve a common goal. The view of a constructivist approach is that collaborative work offers many advantages to enhance learning. The impact of Collaborative and cooperative learning on the classroom when working in well established and structured groups can benefit students in a positive way by:  Giving students an equal opportunity in achieving desired goals. All group members are working towards a common goal.  Can enhance less able students understanding of topic.  Enhance social skills in working with peers and in leadership skills.  Improve communication and interpersonal skills.  A wide range of thinking skills are utilised when students are explaining, negotiating and solving problems.  Emotional development through ideas being supported in an enthusiastic and encouraging group.
