Is the Teacher an Artist or a Scientist ?
C . Praveen

What does an artist working on clay or wood do?

He handles dead material and imparts life to it through his work . He gives the shape he likes, expresses his own ideas and makes the object as he likes. He imposes his will on the material with which he works, and creates an object.

Is the teacher an artist?

Well… the teacher doesn’t use the chisel and hammer…yet he makes an impact felt. He creates learning situations ,motivates, arranges conditions for the mind and body to grow, introduces changes in the behaviour pattern, and inspires noble thoughts and feelings.


What does the scientist do?

A scientist attempts to provide systematized knowledge of natural phenomena by experimentation and inference. The scientific statements provided are always capable of being tested and it is objective.


Can a teacher be a scientist ?

A teacher can be a scientist too if he draws general principles from skilled investigation and interchange of daily experience. Such principles can be interpreted and applied to the peculiar conditions of his task of teaching which is defined for him by the age , sex, number , environment and future vocation of his students, by the situation of his institution and by other variable factors!

Well… what do you think? Is the teacher an artist or a scientist? Mail your answers to cpteach@rediffmail.com
