In regards to this, the teacher needs to consider the following;

  • Pupils' interest
  • Attitudes
  • Differences, needs
  • Learning environment
  • Pupils background knowledge
  • Eye - contact
  • Voice
  • Rate of presentation of topic
  • Scope of the topic amongst others

  • Interest: It is very important for the teacher to stimulate pupils' interest in the topic being discussed because interest can heighten motivation and thus speed up - learning.

The desire to satisfy one's want and goals become ones interest. The topic must be presented in a simple and interesting manner and the advantages of the topic should be stressed.

No matter how good a teaching method is, without adequate motivation and interest on the part of the learners, the pupils will learn little or virtually nothing from the lesson.

  • Individual differences: Pupils come from different homes and are exposed to various background and experiences.They possess individual qualities and attributes. Some of them are highly intelligent while others are of average intelligence. The teacher must provide for slow and fast learners.

The fast learners could be given very challenging assignments so that they will not be bored. Similarly, the slow learners must be given extra assignments to enable them catch up with the required standard.

The teacher must possess the ability to spot out unusual personal traits. Some pupils may be introverts while others are extroverts.

During teaching most especially while class or group discussion is in progress, the teacher should also be encouraged and motivated to participate actively. It is the teachers responsibility to strive hard to Carter for pupils' individual interest.

Learner's interest must always be considered if there must be an effective teaching.

You cannot successful teach people who are not interested in what you are teaching
