This book is a study of various practices — both teacher-centred and pupil- centred — employed by teachers in the classroom in their roles as communicators of knowledge and as facilitators in the construction of knowledge by the pupils.

This source book for student-teachers is designed to cover the needs of all teacher-education programmes including B.Ed., B.El.Ed., B.T.C. and E.T.C. courses. It provides quality instructional material on skills of teaching and their application in techniques, methods and strategies of teaching.
