The Art of Effective Teaching-Learning in Cyber community Era

Abstract

This short paper is aimed at discussing the various factors that support the art of effective learning and effective teaching in the present cybercommnity era. The results showed that the effectiveness of instructional process is generally determined by the subject matter, methods, media / tools, learning evaluation and teacher’s skills in delivering the learning material to learners. The educators who have mastered the art of teaching and learning will inspire, encourage the students to think critically, and encourage students' motivation. The development of Cybercommunity has shifted the role of teaching and learning methods. The presence of cybercommunity put the teacher more as a facilitator and students’ assisstant within the online learning system (e-library, e-learning) that has been growing the independence of learners up. Learning materials that are uploaded must be kept up to date. Therefore, teachers need to work together synergistically with the administrator (cybercommunity provider) in materials preparation, tools and instructional procedures so that learners can still follow the education process actively and independently (student centered learning) online. Teachers need to improve professionalism to be able to apply IT and also master the art and teaching techniques to foster creativity, reasoning power and students’ learning motivation.
