What is the purpose of GENE Teaching?

The purpose of GENE Teaching is to help a student briefly, promote independence, and then assist another. This approach focuses on empowering students by providing temporary support that encourages them to take ownership of their learning. The goal is to gradually foster independence, allowing students to develop confidence and skills to tackle challenges on their own. Once a student has gained the necessary understanding and capability, the teacher transitions to support another student, thereby ensuring that all learners receive the attention they need while also promoting a self-sufficient learning culture.

The other options present different teaching philosophies or methods which, while valuable in their own right, do not align with the specific objectives of GENE Teaching. For instance, allowing students to teach each other emphasizes peer learning, creating a collaborative environment focuses on group interactions, and measuring students’ progress individually centers on assessment rather than the guided independence that GENE Teaching promotes. Each of these approaches has its merits, but they do not encapsulate the core intent of GENE Teaching, which is centered on brief assistance followed by fostering independence in students.
