Teaching as a profession requires numerous adjustments to create a conducive environment for both teachers and students. The nature of learning should be more democratic and engage teachers and students in policy and regulations establishment. There must be Democratic negotiations to enhance the professionalism of teaching. Teachers' unions should not be limited to bargaining for better working conditions, wages, or other benefits but also be included in establishing teaching policies. Teachers are better positioned to make more valid policies to enhance their performance. Therefore, to enhance learning, it is crucial to enhance teachers' satisfaction, improving the relationship between teachers and students (Strike, 1990). In addition, teachers should value their profession and cease viewing it as a routine job. Teachers require the chance to examine the problems and needs of their students and come up with the best solutions. Hence, the education department should offer teachers needed support to enhance their ability to perform better (Hansen,1994). However, the conceptualization of the nature of teaching aligns with the empirical materials since teaching is diverse and could take different forms, although the main focus is to enhance learning. Teaching can be through demonstration, reading, drawing, visual learning, or writing. However, one must ensure that they intend to create logic and present it to the learners in an understandable manner (Hirst,1971). Hence, teaching entails equipping learners with appropriate concepts about a particular topic, although teachers need more support and involvement.
