What Are The Main Principles of Team Teaching?
The main Principles of Team Teaching are as under:
- Time Factor: In team teaching, the duration should be decided based on subject’s importance. Allow much time for an unimportant subject makes team teaching ineffective.
- Level of Instruction: Before imparting instruction to the pupils, the initial behaviours of the learners must be observed and the level of the instructions should be according to the pupils.
- Supervision: As the type and the method of supervision depends upon the objective of the group, therefore the objectives of the group must be kept in mind at the time of supervision.
- Size and Composition: In the present times, the size of the class changes according to the objective of the team teaching. The size and composition of the group of pupils should be according to the objectives of the group and learning experiences.
- Appropriate Duties Assigned to Teachers: The division of duties and responsibilities of the teachers should be appropriate. These duties should be assigned to them according to their academic merit, interests and personality traits. Hence the team members are selected very carefully in team teaching.
- Learning Environment: Team teaching is successful only if a proper learning environment is provided, such as a provision of library, laboratory, workshop etc.
