Abstract

Teacher's mental health depends on factors such as personality, job stress, job satisfaction, and environmental factors. Science teachers have more stress than arts teachers. The most general objective of education is to cultivate excellence. Physics is the mother of all sciences. Physics learning process is to show how things are related. Optimum intellectual development should be imparted through interactive sessions only. Interest in the material to be learned is the best stimulus to learning rather than such external goals such as grades or later competitive advantage. Communication is more than verbal in teaching learning process. Although we continually send and receive nonverbal messages, most of us are not fully aware of the ways that we communicate nonverbally. Areas of Nonverbal Communication include all forms of communication that are not part of the language that we speak or write. There are many ways that we reveal ourselves nonverbally for e. g. Eye contact, body language or vocal cues. An awareness of nonverbal communication and nonverbal signals will disclose confidential information or weaknesses in your position. In fact non-verbal communication is the most basic part of our personality.
