Features: This is a book on teaching principles, organized around the 10 principles applied by effective teachers and trainers. Unlike traditional approaches that introduce teaching principles in a general manner, this book presents key concepts such as meaningfulness, prerequisites, open communication, concise content organization, teaching aids (or learning aids), novelty, demonstration, positive and appropriate practice, engaging contexts and outcomes, and consistent teaching elements. Each principle is elaborated in detail through practical experiences, concrete examples, and clear processes. It is believed to be beneficial for all students of educational courses, current teachers in primary and secondary schools, as well as those responsible for corporate and institutional training.
