Teaching as Teaching‐Studying‐Learning Interaction

Abstract

The teaching‐learning process is expanded to a teaching‐studying‐learning process where the active role of the student is emphasized. Interaction is suggested as the central concept in this process. Interaction can be divided into the phase preceding the interaction proper and the phase following it. In addition to pre‐interaction and post‐interaction, direct and indirect interaction as well as the symmetrical and asymmetrical nature of this interaction are considered. The role of the student and the place of learning are emphasized by the activity of studying. The potential passive nature of the concept of process is also analysed.
