Introduction
The study’s context
The achievement of a qualitative educational process necessitates a reevaluation of the teacher’s educational undertaking, so that the elaborated didactic strategies should not only convey a significant amount of information to students, but also teach them how to operate with them and apply them in various situations. Education cannot be confined to theory alone; it must also decide how theoretical information is applied in practical actions, ensuring the completion of an integral cycle of the learning process.”
Thus, instead of promoting a system that is oriented on the substance of learning and the teacher while ignoring the kid’s requests, we must promote a system in which the pupil is the center piece and his individual needs and interests are respected.
The shift in emphasis from teaching to learning activity, centered on the learner, his needs, interests, and aspirations, on his subjectivity, imposes a reassessment of learning that opens up new possibilities as well as a continuous reconstruction of reality that must lead to a world outlook in which “the results of learning cannot be predicted, because the processes of constructing reality are individual and situational.”
A teaching style is essentially a series of judgments made in combination with the teaching act. Teaching styles are separate from instructional modalities such as classroom instruction or cooperative learning. The teaching style is meant to define the behaviors that teachers exhibit when interacting with students.
Teachers, like students and learning styles, may have a preferred teaching style while being able to teach in a variety of methods. Teachers frequently educate according to their chosen learning style. Teachers work as motivators in order to get and keep students engaged in the learning process.
He went on to say that this occurrence can be viewed as a difficult assignment for teachers. A good teacher’s “bag of tricks” contains a variety of motivational methods. reveals that when young students are engaged by games, music, and the utilization of noises, they learn better.
It is always necessary to urge students to participate in class activities. When offered the option of participating in activities that involve play and physical motions, students are more likely to participate in classroom activities. Motivational techniques, in addition to the teaching styles utilized by teachers in the classroom, are some of the characteristics associated with high educational attainment.
In terms of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, students are intrinsically motivated when they relate their educational outcomes to elements within their control. Furthermore, intrinsically driven students believe they may be effective agents in achieving desired goals or are engaged in mastering a topic rather than just rote learning to acquire good ratings.
Based on this context, the researcher wishes to explore the impact of teaching styles on the development of kids’ attitudes toward learning in a primary school in Lagos.
