Which of the following is not a quality of good teaching?

Concept

Good teaching is learner-centred, responsive, and participatory. It combines accurate guidance with respect for learners’ needs and encourages their active involvement rather than concentrating all classroom authority in the teacher.

Application

Democratic teaching encourages participation, sympathetic teaching responds to learners’ needs, and being a desirable information provider supports instructional goals. An autocratic style instead concentrates decisions and control in the teacher, limiting learners’ voice and participation.

Contrast

• Democratic: shared participation and classroom responsibility support active learning.

• Sympathetic: sensitivity to learners’ needs helps create a supportive learning environment.

• Desirable information provider: relevant and accurate guidance helps learners achieve the intended objectives.

Result

Therefore, autocratic is not a quality of good teaching.
