FOCUS OF TEACHING:- Teaching focuses on three fundamental elements and processes. These are cognitive, psychomotor and affective processes. All the three are interrelated and it is often difficult to arbitrarily teach only one without unconsciously or sub-consciously teaching the other.

1. COGNITIVE PROCESS:- The cognitive process is related to knowledge. It appeals mainly to our mind or intellect. It is reflected in the acquisition of new ideas or the re-organisation of an existing body of ideas. This knowledge affects our responses and reactions to situations. We can illustrate cognitive abilities in teaching situations involving:-

Ø  Ability to identify facts which explain the existence or absence of particular matter.

Ø  Ideas which can convince or persuade someone in an argument.

Ø  Ability to determine the interconnection between two or more things.

Ø  One’s ability to create alternative ways of doing something.

Ø  One’s ability to organise ideas and thoughts when making a verbal or written presentation:-

      a) Ideas, facts, figures, number sand symbols.
      b) Inter-relationship between such facts, ideas, figures, numbers, symbols e.t.c.

     c) Organisation of such ideas, figures, facts, numbers, symbols e.t.c. in an orderly manner so as to 
          reflect clear, understandable and logical meaning.

2. PSYCHOMOTOR PROCESS:- Refers to skills acquired through the teaching/learning situation. These skills relate to how we learn to co-ordinate and use our hands, heads, legs and other parts of our bodies. We can manipulate things using our psychomotor abilities such as:-

Ø  Manual (Using hands) skills in Carpentry, Garment-making, Motor Vehicle Mechanics,   Masonry e.t.c.

Ø  Ability to play any or all ball games e.g. Soccer, Basketball, Netball, Rugby, Volleyball e.t.c.

Ø  On becoming effective athletes and gymnastics.

Ø  Undertaking any other trade, skill or craft.

All these processes will require both teachers and trainees to be practical, creative, precise and manipulative.

3. AFFECTIVE PROCESS

Affective means feelings and attitudes. Our feelings and attitudes reflect the values we are associated with. Some values are positive and progressive while others are negative and archaic. Affective teaching seeks to promote positive values and attitudes while at the same time gradually, but systematically chipping at those which are negative and disruptive. Attitudes and values are important in another sense. They greatly influence not only what we do, but also how we do what we do.
