“A theory of teaching is a set of interrelated constructs, definitions, propositions which present a systematic view of teaching by specifying relations among variables with the purpose of explaining and predicting”.

The theory which is based upon certain logic, certain metaphysical, epistemological assumptions and propositions is known as formal theory of teaching.

Meutic Theory of Teaching
This theory conceives that teaching process helps to recollect or unfold that knowledge with questioning techniques.
The socratic’s method is an essential for this theory.
The heredity plays an important role in teaching process.

The communication Theory of Teaching
This theory of teaching based upon assumptions that the teacher possesses all knowledge and information which student does not possess.
the teacher presents, explains, demonstrates and performs in the classroom.

The moulding theory of teaching
John Dewey is the advocate of this moulding theory of teaching.
It has the focus on shape, form and mould of the students behavior.
human personality is formed, shaped and moulded by their environment.

The mutual inquiry theory
This theory assumes that each individual has the capacity to discover new knowledge with mutual inquiry.
True knowledge is inquiry.
This theory of teaching is clearly applicable to research and art.

Descriptive theory of teaching is based upon certain propositions and certain observations.

Theories of Instructions 1. Gagne’s hierarchical theory of
Instruction.
2. Atkinson’s Decision Theoretic Analysis for optimizing learning.
3. Bruner’s Cognitive Developmental Theory of Instruction.

Atkinson’s Decision-theoretic Analysis for Optimizing Learning.
Atkinson Proposed four characteristics 1. Model of the learning process should be involved
2. It should involve specified instructional actions
3. The instructional objectives should be specified in behavioral terms.
4. Each instructional objective can be measured by Burner advocates that a theory of instruction is designing measurement scale or questions.

Bruner’s Cognitive Developmental Theory of Instruction.
Bruner has specified four features
Predisposition to learn - A theory of instruction must be concerned with the experiences and context that will tend to make the child willing and able to learn when he enters the school
Structure of knowledge - A theory of instruction should specify the ways in which body of knowledge should be structured so that it can be most readily grasped by the learner.
Sequence of instruction – A theory of instruction should specify the most effective sequences to present the material
Reinforcement – A theory of instruction should specify the nature and pacing of rewards, moving from extrinsic rewards of intrinsic one.

E. Stones and Morries have attempted to explain the nature of teaching with the help of three types of related variables:
The first phase includes the teacher in the analysis of the teaching problems and teaching tests before teaching takes place.
In the second Phase decision are made about the interrelationship of the variables deemed appropriate to teaching objectives
The third phase concerns with evaluating the effectiveness and workability of phase two

The cognitive theory of teaching
1. Types of teacher’s activity –Adviser, counselor, motivator, demonstrator, curriculum planner and evaluator.
2. Types of educational objectives –Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor.
3. Types of learning theories – philosophical theories of learning Psychological theories of learning
4. Types of components of learning - drive, cue, response and reward.

D.G. Ryan has tried to explain the concept of teacher-behaviour and formulated a theory of teacher-behaviour.
“Teacher behavior consists of those acts that the teacher performs typically in the classroom in order to induce-learning”.
- M. Meux and B.O. Smith
![Page 17: Teaching theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55502636b4c9059f318b46f1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It is based upon two postulates.
Teacher behaviour is social in nature
Teacher behaviour is relative
![Page 18: Teaching theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55502636b4c9059f318b46f1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This theory considers teaching a sort contractual relationship between the teacher and the pupils.
That relationship consists of certain activities to be performed by the teacher such as : analyzing teaching task, determining learning goals, identifying entering behavior and selecting teaching strategy

S.C.T. Clarke has formulated a general theory of teaching.
It assumes that teaching is process which is designed and performed to produce change in behavior of students.
![Page 20: Teaching theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062303/55502636b4c9059f318b46f1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Teaching theory is prescriptive. Teachers and pupils are the major
variables of teaching theory. It is narrow and specific. It is based upon learning theory,
learning conditions and learning components.
While learning theory are formulated by conducting experiments on animals teaching theory is developed by dealing with human subjects in normal situations. I
It is concerned with effective learning and development of pupils.
