Group 4 - Making Sense of Teaching and Learning Process
● OBJECTIVES
● INTRODUCTION
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and
knowledge."
- Albert Einstein
- The teaching and learning process happens anywhere. It is an essential life hack where
we learn basic things such as survival skills, social skills, and many others.
- According to Waring and Evans (2015), a teacher's understanding of pedagogy can affect
his/her conception about education, the types of learning, the learners, and the society
where they belong.
- Leach and Moon (2008) expressed that teachers are really inquisitive about pedagogy, but
there is a great deal of confusion, contestation, and uncertainty on what pedagogy is.
- Smyth, (1987) According to him, if we are to consider science in an interpretive
perspective, it will be associated with a positivist paradigm which negates any notion of
teachers' and learners' consciousness and potential for transformative capacity.
- On the other hand, Betham and Sharpee (2007) defined pedagogy in the context of
guidance to learn. They posited that learning must be in the context of teaching and the
goal of teaching shall be learning.
Conclusion
The journey of teaching and learning is a continuous one. It requires constant reflection,
adaptation, and innovation. By embracing the principles we've discussed, educators can embark
on a transformative journey, shaping the minds of future generations.
