The process of teaching is the act by which the teacher shows educational content(knowledge, habits, skills) to a student within

a context. The process of learning is the complementary process of teaching. Learning is a process by which we gain or improve skills, abilities, knowledge, behaviors, and results from education, experience, study, and so on. Learning is the act by which a student attempts to capture, understand and develop the content posted by Professor, but this does not apply only to student-teacher relationship, this applies to any person who is in the process of learning anything, either empirical or scientific. According to Vygotsky learning theory is divided into two levels first through interaction with others, and then integrating that knowledge into mental structure of the individual. Piaget observed that learning could be through adaptation to the interaction with the environment. The imbalance occurs by assimilation of new experience, which adds to previous knowledge of the student to complement knowledge already learned. Ausubel thinks conducive to learning developed knowledge, you need a statement formally established. Ausubel takes into account two elements: Student learning, ranging from the repetitive or rote to meaningful learning. The strategy of education, ranging from the receptive to the teaching that is based on the discovery by the learner himself. Learning is meaningful when knowledge is incorporated into structures of knowledge already possessed by the individual. To produce this meaningful learning should be given the following conditions:

The logical significance: refers to the logical sequence of processes and consistency in the internal structure of the material. Cognitive Psychology (previous knowledge) : The student must have ideas that will act as a link between pre-existing cognitive structure of learners and new ideas. Affective: positive disposition, subjective learning provision

We are passing through a great transition. The old is becoming obsolete and new is still in the process of e m e r g e n c e . T h e o l d w a ys o f l e a r n i n g & t e a c h i n g i s f o u n d t o b e t o o r i g i d & t o o o u t - d a t e d . A g r e a t e r opportunity of psychological principle is being truly demanded. It has been urged that the training of theyoung requires on the part of teacher a deep psychological knowledge. Teaching-learning process is the heart of education. On it depends the fulfillment of the aims & objectivesof education. It is the most powerful instrument of education to bring about desired changes in the

students.Teaching learning are related terms. In teaching - learning process, the teacher, the learner, the curriculum& other variables are organized in a systematic way to attain some predetermined goalLet us first understand in short about learning, teaching and then teachinglearning relation. Learning can be defined as the relatively permanent change in an individual's behavior or behavior potential (or capability) as a result of experience or practice (i.e., an internal change inferred from overt behavior). This can be compared with the other primary process producing relatively permanent change -maturation --that results from biological gro wth and development. Therefore, when we see a relatively permanent change in others, or ourselves we know that the primary cause was either maturation (biology) or learning (experience). As educators, there is nothing we can do to alter an individuals biology; the onlyinfluence open to use is to provide an opportunity for students to engage in experiences that will lead torelatively permanent change. Teaching then, can be thought of as the purposeful direction and management of the learning process . Notethat teaching is not giving knowledge or skills to students; teaching is the process of providing opportunitiesfor students to produce relatively permanent change through the engagement in experiences provided by theteacher. Definition of learning given by various psychologists: Daniel Bell - Learning is modification due to energies of organism and environment impinging onthe organism itself. Gates - Learning is modification of behaviour through experience. Crow Crow - Learning involves the acquisition of habits, knowledge and attitude. Ruch - Learning is a process, which bring about changes in the individual way of responding as aresult of contact with aspects of environment. Skinner Learning as acquisition and retention. Encyclopedia of Education Research

- Learning refers to growth of interest, knowledge and skills and to transfer these to new situation. Definition of teaching given by various psychologists: H.C. Morrison Teaching is an intimate contact between a more mature p ersonality ans a lessmature one which is designed to further the education of the latter. J. Brubacher Teaching is an arrangement and manipulation of a situation in which there are gapsand obstructions, which an individual will seek to overcome and from in which he will learn in thecourse of doing so. B.O. Smith Teaching is a system of actions involving an agent, an end in view, and a situationi n c l u d i n g t w o s e t s o f f a c t o r s t h o s e o v e r w h i c h t h e a g e n t h a s n o c o n t r o l ( c l a s s s i z e , s i z e o f c l a s s r o o m , p h ys i c a l c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s o f p u p i l e t c . ) a n d t h o s e t h a t h e c a n m o d i f y ( w a y o f a s k i n g questions or ideas gleaned.) Edmund Amidon Teaching is defined as an interactive process, primarily involving classroomtalk, which takes place between teacher and pupil and occurs during certain definable activities. T.F.Greens Teaching is a task of a teacher, which is performed for the development of a child. Essential aspects of the teaching-learning process It is informative to examine the ideal teaching-learning process, as proposed by Diana Laurillard (Laurillard,1993; Laurillard, 1994). She argues that there are four aspects of the teaching-learning process:( a ) D i s c u s s i o n - b e t w e e n t h e t e a c h e r a n d l e a r n e r . (b)Interaction -between the learner and some aspect o f the world defined by the teacher.(c)Adaptation -of the world by the teacher and action by the learner.(d)Reflection -on the learner's performance b y b o t h t e a c h e r a n d l e a r n e r . She then considers how different educational media and styles can be described in these terms. For example,a t e x t b o o k r e p r e s e n t s a o n e way flow of knowledge from the teacher's conceptual knowledge to t h e student's conceptual knowledge. A lecture or tutorial may be seen the same way, but there is a possibility of meaningful discussion between teacher and learner Figure: Teaching - Learning Environment According to Burton in the figure above1)Teaching can become effective only by relating it to process of learning.2)Teaching objective cannot be realized without being related to learning situation.3)We may create and use teaching aids to create some appropriate learning situation.4)The strateg ies and devices of teaching may be

selected in such a manner that the optimal objectives of learning are achieved5)To understand principles, goals, objectives of education in right perspective.6)Appropriate learning situation condition may be created for congenial and effective teaching http://www.scribd.com/doc/5769721/teaching-learning-process-.AKSES 10-6-2012
