Teachers in Developing Countries

Teachers are one of the most people who influence children on their early ages. Teachers are the role model, since they are the ones who guide and train children, and the one in which children put respect for. Thus, teachers must be very comprehensive and respectable.

However, to be a teacher is one of the latest choices made by youth in developing countries. Teacher is not a favorite profession in those countries, because the most favorable profession is the one which can make a lot of money like merchant and tradesmen. Thus, the teachers in developing countries were less intelligent youths.

However, teachers have to fulfill basic requirements. The eight teaching skills purposed by Turney in 1973 include important basic requirements for teachers. Among these skills, there is the questioning skill which requires a teacher to be able on asking intelligent questions. Intelligent questions can stimulate students to find the answers of the course and thus, learn faster. Teachers are also required to be able to explain the subject clearly. The explanation must be able to be digested by students, relevant with the subject of the course, and can stimulate the students to be interested with the material. Department of Education in developing countries must consider these requirements to improve their education system.
