Konstantinos Karampelas I have seen some perfectly delivering teachers holding only a graduate degree and also some doctorates with large number of research papers published but they cant articulate their ideas with the students. Teaching and research both are poles apart

Both are important and complement each other.

Both skills are important.

Teaching skills to "transmit" well and research skills to "transmit" something of quality :)

Certainly both are necessary for academics. I assume that when it comes to getting an academic job, or promoting to higher level (e.g. lecturer to professor) it is important to demonstrate both research and teaching work or competency.

I would add managerial skills afterwards too.

Mohit Bajaj interesting comment. I guess it has to do with theory vs experience. As you mention though, both the groups of people you include in your comment were involved in research and teaching.....

Could it be as you mention, poles apart yet required?

Both are important; both serve to enhance each othr.

Both of them.

@maham muzamil thanks for ur views

Both are important, but I don't think that academic community values them equally. Research is better evaluated and we are evaluating someone's research work with a plenty of measures (that shows interest in research work), while - on the other side - we consider teaching as something naturally connected with research. We assume that someone who is good in research work will also be good in teaching. That's not the case always.
