Introduction

One of the important aspects of current in the form of sustain research on social interaction in the
classroom is the increasing attention given to careful development of theories of classroom
interaction dynamic process in which the teacher is an important participant but is not total
determiner of the outcomes of learning. The theories, taking the lead from studies in group dynamics,
may be miniature systems rather classroom interaction or classroom teaching. Therefore, it is very
essential to understand the concept of teacher and teacher behaviour. Competency in teacher
education is essential. More and more competency based skills in teacher increase the overall
output of students. So, it very important to emphasize on competency based skill techniques in
teacher education. In this unit we will discuss about it.

2.1 Meaning and Definition of an Affective Teacher
It needs no description that the teacher is the pivot of any educational system of the younger
students. On him rests the failure or the success of the system. If the teachers are well educated and
if they are intellectually alive and take keen interest in their job, then only, success is ensured. But
if on the other hand, they lack training in education and if they cannot given their heart to their
profession, the system is destined to fail. Hence, the teacher is another vital component of the
school.
The teacher is a dynamic force of the school. A school without a teacher is just like a body without
the soul, a skeleton without flesh and blood, a shadow without substance. "There is no greater need
for the cause of education today than the need for strong manly men and motherly women as
teachers for the young". As social engineers, the teachers can socialize and humanize the young by
their man-like qualities.
