Three Variables of Teaching

1.    Input Variables: it includes the entry level of learner’s capabilities, potential and skills.

Functions of Variables of Teaching

Functions of Input Variables: Input variables are the pre-requisites of the instructional process. Their functions are as follows:

§  Determination of entry behaviour of Students,

§  Identification of learning deficiencies,

§  Identification of teacher competencies and

§  Locating instructional facilities.

Before a teacher begins to teach, it is essential that he determines the previous knowledge of the learners and investigates the learning deficiencies of the learners. The teacher’s competencies such as his capacities depth knowledge of the subject, experience to deal with content and with students at various levels and his skill of communication are important input variables. The instructional facilities required for teaching process are located, such as the overhead projector, slides, charts, board, etc.
