A study of teacher effectiveness in relation to thinking style of secondary school teachers

Abstract

The greatest gift of God to mankind is the human brain. The brain serves as the ultimate seat of learning and is capable of marvels. The brain, when moulded appropriately, can help individuals lead a meaningful and purpose driven life. The system that transforms and transitions the brain functioning is what we identify as the Education System. Education is thus understood as a system, the goal of which is the harmonious and progressive development of its learners. Besides humanizing humanity, it enables individuals to develop logic, thinking abilities, problem solving skills, positive attitudes, and values. It is for this reason that a successful educational system is often believed to be the backbone of a rational, civil and a responsible society and teachers are one of the primary stakeholders of this education system
