Methods and teaching are insepara-
ble. All classroom activities that are
undertaken without a conscious plan
that
should be followed in pursuing a
learning objective cannot be
considered an actual teaching.

activities are planned and organized
following a step-by-step procedure,

goal.

It essentially influences a teacher’s
entire performance in a given learning
situation. Therefore, they must be
knowledgeable and proficient in em-
ploying a wide variety of teaching
methodologies.
