Importance of Explaining & Exemplifying (reflection of the next generation of teacher )


Teacher’s ability in explaining & exemplifying are really important. Because as a teacher sometimes we must be explaining and exemplifying in detail what we learn with the students. For example, it's important to making conclusion about a whole of the lesson in the end. It is also important when we want to explain the concepts of a thing such what is rational numbers and irrational numbers and etc. Explaining and exemplifying abilities are basic skills that must teachers have. However, when we want to make our students understanding about something we can let our student to join in activities. We know that learning styles and learning methods are various. So, we just not must use explaining and exemplifying in teaching.

In learning process, sometimes we should give explanations and examples to the students. In some case, our students sometimes not understand. So, teachers should give explanation and examples. However, teachers must not always give explanation and example when their students try to apply their prior knowledge to solve a problem. They must develop their thinking skills. We must also remember that different students have different multiple intelligences, and they have unique in their self.

In teaching mathematics, as a teacher we have responsibility to transfer what we have to the students. In generally, the goals of teaching mathematics are to connect, to communicate and to explore mathematics by themselves. Our job is as facilitator our students when they process to connect, to communicate and to explore mathematics.
