Abstract
Making students skillful is the ultimate aim of
teaching. The teacher who feel that their jobs are
over once they explain and demonstrates the lesson
in the class is certainly on the defective side of
thinking. Rather,students must be guided towardsthe
objectives of learning demonstrated through
modeling, and given ample practice to handle learning
independently. This paper elucidates various
techniques available forskill development by studying
the case of 75 students. Their viewsregarding learning
were gathered through a questionnaire. A statistical
analysis of their views was carried out, after which
they were given a skill to practice through a selected
technique which they considered asthe most effective
technique for skill development. It was empirically
concluded thatstudentslearned the skill more rapidly
when they are allowed to use their initiative and
judgment in a mutual practice technique of skill
development. At the end, guidelines for effective skill
development have been suggested which could be
adopted by teacher for skill training of students.
