A favorite teacher is a teacher who his
or her students like to teach by. Students always feel happy when their
favorite teacher is teaching in their class. They exited to study because they
like the ambience when they are learning in classroom. They are enjoyed the
lesson and receive the knowledge which is delivered by the teacher well. In
fact, it is not easy to be a favorite teacher. Every student has different
skill, interest and desire. They often dislike the lesson because they dislike
the way their teacher teaches or they do not like the teacher then they are not
enjoyed and dislike the teaching and learning process. To be what students
like, a teacher must be smart, exited and sincere. If students love their teacher it will open
the opportunities to make them love the lesson, too. When the students love the
lesson, automatically they can be easier to study and receive the materials.
A smart person is people who can make a
complicated thing become simple. This also must occur on a teacher. A smart
teacher can wrap the difficulties of the materials into simpler and easier to
be learnt by students. First, a smart teacher must master the materials very
well. When a teacher masters the whole
materials, she/he will present the materials fluently, explain to the students
clearly and make them understand it easily. Sometimes, after students get the
materials, they will ask to their teacher about what they do not understand or
they do not know. Their questions are often unpredictable. A smart teacher will
always be able to answer all questions from the students without afraid that
she/he will make a mistake, because a teacher may not seen that she/he do not
know what the students ask to her/him. A smart teacher must also be able to listen
and organize the students’ opinion. She/he can give responses for their
arguments and tell them when their opinion is not appropriate with the
materials politely.
The next step to be a favorite teacher is
a teacher must be excited on her/his every hour of teaching. An excited teacher
always has desire to encourage the students to study hard and make their dreams
come true. Because of this excitement, the teacher does not let the students
bored on the teaching and learning process. She/he will be looking for best
ways and methods to make the lesson interesting and fun to learn and make sure
that the teaching and learning process is running effectively. When there are
students who do not interested with the lesson, an excited teacher will never
give up and try another ways to make them interested to follow the class and
then the students will be excited to get the materials of the lesson. The
teacher is always patient with students who is difficult to be maintained. There
are not problems in class that can discourage teacher’s excitement to teach and
become a favorite teacher.
The last but not least, a teacher must be
sincere to teach her/his students. It is mostly forgotten by teachers. They
thought that teaching is a work and what they need to do is only teaching. They
explain the material without wanted to know weather their students understand the
materials or not. They forgot that they have responsibilities to educate and
train their students, too. They should tell to their students which one is true
and which one is false. They also should accustom their students to have good
characteristics, powerful mindset and discipline habit of study. A favorite teacher is a good teacher, and a
good teacher definitely knows that she/he has responsibilities. Sincere is one
of important characteristics which a teacher should have, because it will be
like an alarm that can remind the teacher to do what she/he should do, not only
do what she/he wants to do. A sincere teacher will love her/his students and it
will lead her/him to always make sure that the students can enjoy the class,
receive the materials well, and finally they can apply it in their real life.
From the explanation above, it known that
the success of teaching and learning process is very depending on the teacher. The
teacher should have techniques and methods to make students cleverer. One way
to make it happen is become a favorite teacher. What a teacher needs to be a
favorite teacher is smart, excited and sincere. A smart teacher will lead
her/his students get more knowledge and make them active to looking for more information.
An excited teacher will bring students into understanding, which is very
important to help them remember the whole materials of the lesson and also make
the ambience of the class fun and effective. A sincere teacher will teach
her/his students with love and help students to build good characteristics. Students
will always feel happy when they are taught by their favorite teacher. When
they are happy in teaching and learning process they will enjoy the class,
easily receive the materials and do not have difficulty to solve the problems
of study. Then in the end, the goals of teaching and learning process will be
reached.
