teachers and learners hence they will know exactly where they are going with the
lesson.
Educators should be familiar with the various approaches in business studies and
must be able to utilize these approaches, and they should also be familiar with the
sequence in which the content must be presented, and then afterwards choose the
most meaningful approach and sequence.
Educators must be familiar with and be able to utilize various teaching techniques that
encourage effective and participative learning.
Educators should know and be aware of the teaching media that are available and

questions should be avoided. The questions asked should be clear in order to
increase the probability of accurate responses from learners.

improve understanding and reduce anxiety levels. For heterogeneous classes, the
questions should be asked in a more natural, simple language, adjust vocabulary
accordingly and sentence structure to learner’s language and conceptual levels.
Ask questions logically and sequentially. Should avoid random questions that lack
clear focus and intent. Must take into consideration the intellectual ability of learners,
their prior understanding of the lesson content, topic and outcomes.
Ask questions at a variety of levels. Must utilize knowledge level questions to
determine basic understanding and diagnose potential for higher level thinking.
Follow up learners responses. Must develop a response repertoire that will encourage
learners to clarify initial responses and expand their responses.
