Abstract
Like many other professions, teaching is an art. Teacher plays a significant role for knowledge dispersion to the learner. Literature review had supported the usage of sundry effective teaching skills to triumph successful outcomes. Despite best efforts by the teachers, a learner always found it difficult to acquire new knowledge by moving with teacher’s pace. The literature review has shown adoption of various teaching strategies to facilitate learner. For the purpose, various learning processes were analyzed to see their effective correlation with teaching strategies. It has been explored from the published studies that the learning process involves five steps i.e dissonance, refinement, organization, feedback and consolidation. All these should be given due importance by the teacher to enhance learning.1 Effectiveness regarding learner centered approach is accentuated. This enables a learner, to learn as per their contextual outcomes, objectives and needs.2 Tracing back the changing trends in medical education, Harden etal, described that teacher’s role should be a facilitator besides knowledge transmitter. An appropriate assistance and guidance should be given to augment learning process and to motivate them for acquisition of advanced knowledge.3
