ABSTRACT
Perrott (1982: 4) suggests that the following are observable indications of effective teaching:
Pupils show knowledge and understanding, skills and attitudes intended by the curriculum as measured by performance on tests.
Pupils exhibit independent behaviour in learning curriculum content.
Pupils exhibit behaviour which indicates a positive attitude towards teacher and peers.
Pupils exhibit behaviour which indicates a positive attitude towards the curriculum and the school.
Pupils exhibit behaviour which indicates a positive attitude towards themselves as learners.
Pupils do not exhibit behaviour problems in class.
Pupils seem actively engaged in learning academically relevant material while the class is in session.
