Relationship between Teachers and Students Objective Needs

Abstract

Learning objectives are statements that describe what a learner will be able to do as a result of learning. They are sort of contract that teachers go into with students. Objectives explain elaborately what students will be able to do after learning. The objective needs of both teachers' and students are like Siamese twins. None can exist without the other. The main thrust of this paper therefore is to explore the relationship between teachers' objective needs and students' objective needs. Also how the teachers should help the students to achieve their objectives. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHERS' OBJECTIVES NEEDS AND STUDENTS' OBJECTIVE NEEDS. Objective needs of teachers and students can only be discussed with reference to an academic environment. Academic environment is related to education. Education is the greatest hope of any developing country. Teachers are facilitators of education. A teacher can be defined as a person who has the basic qualifications required for the transmission of knowledge, skill and information. A teacher is a person assigned the role of transmitting to the present generation the accumulation knowledge and values of the past and these interprets this information with reference to the present with a view to modifying and improving the future. A teacher is a person who provides education for students. In the past, many people thought that anyone who could hold pieces of chalk and stand in front of the learners is a teacher. Studies have shown this to be wrong. For any nation to do well in the education sector, such a nation must employ qualified teachers who can facilitate learning so as to achieve the set out objectives.
