3. FACTORS AFFECTING TEACHING COMPETENCY:

There are some factors which have played an important role in shaping and determining the objective of education and the system of education. 3.1 Economic Factor: Formal education is possible where production exceeds consumption. This will depend upon the fertility of the soil abundant mineral deposits and proper climatic conditions for work where there is a subsistence economy. This is the reason why poorer and underdeveloped countries have a minimum education for their children while industrially advanced countries keep nearly all their children at school and for a longer time. The educational process is affected by the economic status of individual. Examples of economic factors are like salary satisfaction, annual growth etc. the general social environment in which a teacher moves affect her emotional health favorably or adversely on the street the teachers lives in. The schools teachers and other people, she comes into contact with are predominantly suspicious, worrying quarrel some angry hostile and inclined to flare up into sudden fits of rage the teacher can hardly remain immune to their emotionally distributing influence. Different social problems also leave their effects on the teaching competencies and can be hurdle in running smoothly the learning process. Examples of social factors are like social background, family background etc. 3.3 Environmental Factors: According to M. Sultan (1963), the physical environment is also considerably potent on its ability to color one‘s health. A desirable healthy and aesthetically appealing atmosphere is soothing and comforting. It is liable to promote emotional harmony and balance in unhealthy environment on the contrary can become a source of many emotional upset and disturbances. These disturbances become a big obstacle in effective teaching. If the environment is not healthy then how can we expect teaching efficiency from the teachers? 3.4 Linguistic Factors: Language is one of the natural factors that helps and influences growth of the educational system of a country. By the difference and clashes of languages the teaching competency can also be affected. We can say that in secondary level teaching is complex work. Unlike other professions teaching requires simultaneous interaction with large numbers of people. Decisions have to be made quickly and reasonably. No one day is quite similar as previous day, every day they have a lot of opportunity of new experiments and problems 3.5 Teaching attitude: ―Attitude is a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. It is a hypothetical construct that represents an individual‘s degree of like or dislike for something. Attitudes are generally positive or negative views of a person about any place, thing, or event. An attitude is a dispositional readiness to respond to certain institutions, persons or objects in a consistent manner which has been learned and has become one‘s typical mode of response‖ according to Frank Freeman.

terms of being good looking, attractive etc. The ability to talk and interact with others pleasantly in addition to being good look makes other say that the concerned person has a good personality. Person who do not have good looks or not well dressed or do not interact adequately are considered to have poor personality. But scientifically it is not true. In Fact, personality signifies something deeper than mere appearance or outward behavior.

3.7 Anxiety: The present era is an age of anxiety. It is not only a favorite theme for many poets and novelists, but has become a nodal concept in psychology (Freud, 1936). It has been utilized for explaining many of psychopathological problems and has become a useful construct in the field of social inter-relationships and behavior. Anxiety is a common reaction to frustration. Growing out of frustration anxiety serves as a driving force for adjustments.

4. CONCLUSION:
