There's no doubt that humans have been striving to learn from an early age, albeit in very simple ways. Even from the moment toddlers first begin to socialize, there are already efforts being made to influence one another. It's clear, then, that education has been a basic human need from ancient times to the present day, and into the future.
For someone who works as a teacher, the task is certainly not easy. In teaching, a teacher will face a group of people who have different characteristics from one another: they are students or pupils. These students require guidance and coaching to move towards social change, actual, and develop potential in achieving maturity of thought. Therefore, humans after receiving education are expected to become fully educated human beings and able to answer the challenges of the times. Education is not merely to fulfill the obligation of the curriculum alone, but must be able to be an effort to realize the national goal of the intellectual life of the nation.
Given the immensely demanding responsibilities a teacher carries, teachers who teach and deliver lessons in front of a class are expected to be able to apply and understand teaching principles. By understanding and mastering these principles, a teacher can create a lively learning environment in the classroom. Teaching principles must be applied as efficiently and effectively as possible to ensure successful and effective teaching and learning activities in a classroom. These teaching principles include:

Given the immensely demanding responsibilities a teacher carries, teachers who teach and deliver lessons in front of a class are expected to be able to apply and understand teaching principles. By understanding and mastering these principles, a teacher can create a lively learning environment in the classroom. Teaching principles must be applied as efficiently and effectively as possible to ensure successful and effective teaching and learning activities in a classroom. These teaching principles include:
1. Attention
When teaching, a teacher must be able to generate attention to the lesson being presented. When students internalize and process this attention, it leads to understanding. This stimulates the child's thinking system, enabling them to compare, differentiate, express, explore, experiment, and draw conclusions from the knowledge they have acquired.
2. Activity
In a teaching and learning process, an educator must be able to create and stimulate children's activity in thinking and acting. Creating an active atmosphere in the classroom to encourage students to think is not an easy matter. In this case, it is very necessary to understand and think about the situation and conditions of a learning material, especially an understanding of student characteristics. If a student in the classroom can be invited to play an active role, it is hoped that the student will be able to have good and correct knowledge so that they can apply it in everyday actions and actions in living their lives.
3. Apperception
Every time a teacher teaches, it's important to connect the lesson to the child's prior knowledge and cognitive experiences.
This approach is intended to help students connect their existing knowledge to the lesson they're receiving. This facilitates the teacher's teaching and helps the child pay more attention to the lesson.
4. Demonstration
When a teacher explains a material in front of his students in front of the class, he must try to be able to display original or imitation props if it is an explanation that requires props so that students can understand what is conveyed well. In teaching using props, the props should be varied and interesting so that they attract more attention from students, this is what will increase students' stimulation to be more focused and train their way of thinking, props also do not have to be expensive, they do not have to be original, you can use imitation props if it is not possible.
5. Repetition
To explain a lesson, teachers need to use repetition. Repeating a lesson requires appropriate techniques under the right conditions and circumstances, such as asking students a question first. If they don't fully understand, the teacher can repeat the topic.
Lessons presented repeatedly can also help students retain information, clarifying issues, and generally making them more likely to be forgotten.
Lessons presented repeatedly can also help students retain information, clarifying issues, and generally making them more likely to be forgotten.
6. Correlation
When teaching, teachers need to pay attention to and consider the correlations or connections between each subject, as well as the correlations between one discipline and another. However, these correlations don't just emerge spontaneously; they must be considered in terms of their cause and effect. If these correlations are understandable and understandable, they will broaden and deepen students' knowledge of one another.
7. Concentration
The interconnectedness of lessons can be expanded or even focused on a specific area of interest and talent. This allows a child to acquire broad and in-depth knowledge. Children will see and feel the interconnectedness or connection between one subject and another. Collaborative planning between teachers and students will stimulate students' interest in learning with concentration. Concentration lessons can contain problems or questions. Therefore, using the problem-solving method, students will be trained to solve their own problems. Concentration in lessons can allow students to gain hands-on experience. Observing, researching, analyzing, and summarizing their knowledge allows them to organize, organize, and summarize their own knowledge.
8. Socialization
In children's development, it is necessary to practice cooperative patterns within their discussion groups or with other groups. This way, children, besides being individuals, also develop social skills that are crucial for development. Through the principles of socialization, they will be trained to cooperate, work together, and take responsibility for solving their problems. This will maximize their thinking patterns.
Socialization may elicit various questions, suggestions, and comments that encourage them to think further in an effort to understand and improve any shortcomings. In this way, students understand the important role of socialization, expressing ideas, assessing, and respecting the thoughts and opinions of others. This has a constructive behavioral effect on students.
The quality, meaning, and effectiveness of teaching and learning depend on each individual child and are strongly related to the social framework in which they learn. This is where the principles of socialization teaching are crucial. Students will gain numerous benefits from implementing socialization methods in the classroom learning and teaching environment.
9. Individualization
Each child has distinct and unique characteristics. A teacher should not judge their students based solely on a single ability. The genius scientist Albert Einstein once said that every human being is intelligent, but if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will forever be seen as stupid. His point is that every human being is born with their own unique characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses.
In accordance with the individuality of each student, who differs in development and abilities, teachers should assess, investigate, and understand their students' levels of ability and encourage them to discover and determine for themselves what they can do, using flexibility, effectiveness, and efficiency for a smooth and sustainable learning process.
10. Evaluation
At the end of all teaching and learning activities, a teacher naturally needs to conduct an evaluation. Evaluation is conducted to assess and examine the learning outcomes of students and to identify any difficulties that may still be encountered during the learning process.
Evaluation is a necessity and an essential part of every teaching and learning activity and an integral element of a learning organization.
Evaluation is a tool for organizing, obtaining, collecting, classifying, recording, and analyzing the learning outcomes achieved by students. For example, it provides a report on student achievement to parents or guardians so they can obtain information about the teaching program and the implementation of the learning process in the classroom.
Therefore, teachers must possess and understand the concept of evaluation, understand its purpose, its uses, the various forms of evaluation, and appropriate evaluation techniques for their purpose and objectives.
Understanding and implementing evaluation can ultimately improve planning and technique, ensuring that learning activities are on-target, focused, and navigated clearly and concisely.
A flexible, effective, and efficient teaching process depends on the ten teaching principles mentioned above. With these principles, a teacher can monitor and carry out their profession as a shaper and builder of students' personalities as they mature. Effective, efficient, and flexible learning depends on the diverse character and meaning of the teaching and learning process itself.
All of these principles are interconnected and interconnected, and they should not be separated. This is to ensure that the teaching and learning process is organized to achieve maximum results, fully meaningful and encompassing a multitude of meaningful insights. This also ensures the most effective and efficient results, and the best, most authentic, and most systematic results.
We hope this explanation is beneficial to all of us, our thoughtful readers, especially to these unsung heroes. We certainly recognize that the goals of the learning process, no matter how great the program created by the human mind, will never be achieved without the correct methods or principles. Thank you.
