Conceptualizing effective teaching

Abstract

Abstract. Resting on traditions of various schools of thought, academic literature abounds in diverse conceptual frameworks towards interpretation of effective teacher performance. Teachers’ professionalism, expertise, pedagogical mastery, professional competence, teacher effectiveness etc are some of the key concepts which consider interrelated facets of teaching. The present paper purports to disentangle or at least delineate more clearly the aforementioned concepts used with reference to quality teaching.
