Principles and Practice of Teaching

Principles and Practice of Teaching Synopsis

Originally published in 1980, this book was specifically directed to student-teachers in Nigeria studying for the Nigeria Certificate in Education, the Advanced Teachers Certificate in some West African countries and for those pursuing the Bachelor of Education degree. It would also have been useful to students doing various diploma and postgraduate courses in education.

Apart from being a textbook of 'principles and practice of teaching', the book, which takes a pragmatic approach to various teaching techniques and classroom problems, could be used as a handbook by teachers and different categories of school administrators at the time. The personalised style in some of the chapters made the book suitable in a distance learning situation. Guidelines for teachers in the real school setting are also abundant.

Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
