Abstract

The term ‘pedagogy’ is widely used but its true essence and scope are not understood clearly. A teacher who can understand the cumulative effect of pedagogy, content, and psychology will be able to decide learning objectives better and the teaching-learning process will be enriched. The teaching profession is multidimensional and the teacher is expected to know the scope of the subject and curriculum. Presentation of Learning (POL) is as important as it includes models, methods, innovation, strategy, and tactics to make the whole process smoother and more effective. The status of teachers needs to be uplifted for which a few policy reforms will also be needed to be brought in. This combination is essential to direct learning in a positive direction and help the learner achieve the best he can.
