Abstract
The Compass of Teacher: General Teaching Principles
The general teaching principles, which should be followed by students, especially
teachers, and other stakeholders in education, play a guiding role as a compass in
achieving the goals of education. From pre-school to university, no matter in which
teaching level, type of school, course, unit or subject; regardless of the branch of teachers
and the teaching level of the students; Regardless of which teaching-learning model,
strategy, method and technique is used by a teacher, all of these variables should be
in accordance with the general principles of teaching. These principles are generally
taught to teachers in the undergraduate education process. As a result of the literature
review, no resources could be found that provide the integrity of the general principles of
teaching and no research directly related to the subject could be reached. This study was
conducted in order to cover the general principles of accepted teaching in the literature in
a comprehensive manner and to reach all general principles of teaching in a single study.
As a result of the study, 27 general principles of teaching were compiled and explained
in detail. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the process of teacher training, and
literature, to all individuals who are instructor and learner, especially university lecturer
and teachers.
