Though abilitiesare in'born quality, it is also a fact that these

A and development of the other person who comesteacher cannot be regarded only as a skilled in contact with him. There are four dimensionsassociated with a teacher, his competence,efficacy, enthusiasm and morale.Teacher's competence : Teacher'scompetence has been defined as the e~tent towhich the teacher has t~ relevant subje~tmatter and the pedagogical experties needed toimpart the curriculum effectively.Teacher's efficacy: It IS defined as the selfbelief in his capacity of doing what is expectedfrom them.Teacher's enthusiasm: A teacher must bevery enthusiastic.Teacher's Morale : It is very important inmaintaining balance in the classroo·minteraction.

For effective teaching the active ,participation of students IS very important.This participation IS done through theclassroom interaction. 'This interaction consistof thier explanations and lectures withstudents , suggestions, ideas concepts, and questions,etc. These activ:ities of students makeimportant for making teaching learningprocess effective, democratic and friendly.Interaction is required for the rectificationof the drawbacks of direct teaching. Thisinteractive teaching is known as indirectteaching.
