Abstract

This research aims to examine the concept of teaching, its strategies, and their role in enhancing the educational process. Teaching is viewed as an organized interactive process based on scientific and educational foundations that contributes to achieving educational objectives and facilitating intentional learning among learners. The research discusses the concept of teaching from both linguistic and terminological perspectives, its objectives and importance, and the elements of the teaching process, emphasizing the need for integration among them to ensure effective education. It also examines the concept of teaching strategies, their elements, and the criteria for selecting appropriate strategies, focusing on five main strategies: lecture or presentation, discussion and dialogue, cooperative learning, brainstorming, and problem-solving. The research adopts the descriptive-analytical method due to its suitability to the nature of the topic. It concludes that diversifying teaching strategies and considering learners’ characteristics and educational contexts are essential for achieving more effective learning.
