Answer to Question 1

Teaching often involves strong beliefs about the value of education and of shaping students' minds, and about the important role of the educator. Teachers must use all of their persuasive powers, including emotion as well as knowledge, to incite and encourage students to learn. Teachers must also be flexible, in that they must be able to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching strategies and alter their plans accordingly if their strategies are not working.

Answer to Question 2

Sometimes a series of experiments may lead to the development of a new concept or idea or a new method of teaching that is successful when it is first tried out. If it catches on before enough research is done to substantiate the initial findings, this leads to a fad, which further research may prove to have little value.
