Would you Like to Be a Teacher?

There are two distinct kinds of teachers. The kind which springs to the mind more readily is the school-teacher, whose duty is to give pupils a certain, clearly-defined quantity of knowledge - this knowledge consists of the basic facts forming the foundation on which further specialization can be built. The teacher of children has the power to mould¹ the development of young minds, of individual characters. A good teacher will also take pleasure in creating a thirst² for knowledge in the child, inspiring an appreciation of education and desire for self-fulfillment. The teaching of younger children is undoubtedly a vocation³ requiring patience and dedication.

The second kind is University teaching, which, under the English system bears little or no resemblance to school teaching. The function of a lecturer in an English University is not, first and foremost⁴, to give knowledge in the form of facts; it is rather to provide guide-lines along which students may direct their individual duty, to provide the student with the main tools of analysis for his particular specialty, to arouse the student’s interest in particular aspects of his subject for further research work after graduation. The lecturer is allowed more free time in which to conduct his individual research, thereby being able to make a positive contribution and keep up with current ideas in his subject.
Thus, under the English system of education, school teaching is the field of those people whose interests and talents lie in giving knowledge, while lecturing requires some original contributions to the subject on the part of the lecturer and also requires a desire to encourage an interest in a special sphere in future teachers and research-workers.
