TULSI PRAJNA discharge. For example, at the primary level, the teacher may adopt either - playway, role-playing or programmed learning techniques, but he must possess love and provide ample freedom to his pupil so that they may learn willingly. The primary or elementary school teacher's role is slightly more difficult in comparison with that of the other teachers because his pupil are at a tender age. Therefore, besides possessing genuine love he ought to have a lot of patience and tolerance for them if he wants to be effective and successful. The more authentic person he is, the more effective he would be in playing his various roles.
. After all quality of education depends largely upon the quality of teachers. Therefore, there is a pressing need that more effective teachers should be distinguished from the less effective ones. (10) And only those who are effective, and authentic. need to be employed at the primary level of teaching. There personal and professional qualities listed in this article are pre-requisites to make a teacher successful and effective. And if time to time work-shops and in-scrvice short courses are oganised by the State Education Department(s) and the NCERT. importance of those qualities can be discussed (discourse method) and highlighted. The importance of the teacher's role in relation to his pupil, work, and society can be emphasised and doubts can be dispelled through the question and answer techniques too in a free and homogenious environment, which at times is missing in workshops and in-service courses.
A teacher who possesses self-awareness, is bound to possess freedom, love tolerance and courage. And with these personal qualities he can clearly perceive, not only lis pupils' needs, but also his responsibilities towards his work and the society. Such a teacher will surely reflect values in his conduct and will always be aware of his duties towards his country.
Education is a powerful instrument for social. political, economic and moral development of a country but this development cannot take place without an cffective teacher as it is through him only that educational experience is conducted and brought home to the pupil.
