And the most important point that we shed light on, is that the first levels of thinking must be mastered before the next one , from the simple one to the complex level to  guide students to higher level of thinking. The Link Between the First two levels of thinking.  The first the level of thinking that can be adopted by teachers in classroom is knowing(knowledge). This level of thinking activates students background in order to build on the previous ones , in other words, recall  basic concepts related to the subject of interest.

The Strong relationship between society and education We live all in in a society which has its own set rules and one of them is education. Education is a major institution in most societies that influence human behavior and mirror the entire society. It helps us become an active member of the society and participate in the ongoing changes and development. Education is what we need if we want an answer to our what, How and where questions. It helps us to understand the world we live in. we get to know more about our surroundings.   There is a strong relationship between society and education that it is not possible to separate them because what happens to one a ff ects the other.    This is because of the fact that what happens to the educational system definitely a ff ects the society, and whatever occurs in the society influences the educational system. Education has multiple functions, all of which have a direct or indirect impact on society. Ottway (1980) states...

The positive and negative behaviors exhibited by teachers determine their effectiveness in the classroom and the impact they have on student’s achievement. In essence, as teachers we are trying to develop greater level of thinking with our students, and this can be performed according to the types of knowledge the teacher apply in the class.  Although the teachers do not adopt a lot of competencies while teaching  one of the most important competences is Questioning  .It is  very effective and it develop interest and motivate students to become actively involved in lessons and stimulate students to pursue knowledge on their own and ask their own questions. Paul and elder (2000) state that thinking is not driven by answers but by questions. Questioning is essential in order to keep the students think, and the effective teachers have to constantly ask questions rather than giving the idea directly to the students. Subsequently, questioning in the classroom can cau...

What I Should Do when I enter the university? Why I Love Chemistry?  That's  all because of my Chemistry Teacher in the High School.  Our experiences influence the formation of our attitude, desires, and purposes (Dewey 1938). Similarly, the experiences of the students in the science classroom determine the subject that they will do in the future. My experience with chemistry start in grade 12, were my chemistry teacher changed my view on chemistry. Chemistry is not just what a few people do in their laboratories but instead it’s a study related to our lives, something that everyone can understand and participate. Abe   et al   (2014) claimed:  The goodness of education of a nation could be determined by the quality of her teachers. The most important factor in improving students’ achievement in science is by use capable teachers in schools. Accordingly, my experience with chemistry in grade 12 change my view about what everyone said about chemis...

Jacob Kounin theory was that the teacher should have the ability to manage the students behavior through different strategies and techniques. The Teacher by designing an effective lesson plan, will be providing classroom management, and the key is not in dealing with misbehavior rather than preventing them before they occur. There are many ways to design an effective lesson where the teacher should be attentive and make sure that all the students are involved all the time in the lesson and the activities. The main key ideas in the Kounin Model are: 1. The ripple Effect 2. With-it-ness 3. Overlapping 4. Effective transitions 5. Group Focus 5. Satiation The most I like is the with-It-ness concept which is a term made by kounin to describe how the teacher is attentive. To him, the Teacher should be able to know what is going on in all areas of the classroom as if he/she is with all the students. Being that much attentive , as a teacher,and communicating that to the students throu...

T eachers     are     like     an     orchestra    leader,   directing and controlling the language behavior of  students.On the other hand, students are the imitators of the teachers model or the tapes they  supply of model speakers.They follow the teachers instructions as accurately as possible. Students shouldn’t    read   to   finish   the   given   task   only, but    they   should    read   for   pleasure   and   for   educating   their selves  and this  is   shown   in   many    periods    that   I   have    observed in some schools.   One of the teachers strengths is helping students when they stumble a bit in their repetition of the idea related to the lesson.In addition Positive reinforcement is important in helping the students develop...
