PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION E

FIELD STUDY AND TEACHING INTERNSHIP

Foundations of Teaching and Learning

• Teaching is a deliberate and systematic process of guiding learners to acquire knowledge, skills,
values, and attitudes.
• Learning is the process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, behaviors, skills, and values
through study, experience, and instruction.
• Learning becomes effective when students are actively engaged in meaningful activities.

Characteristics of effective learning:

• learner participation
• meaningful and relevant experiences
• feedback and reinforcement
• supportive classroom environment
• motivation and interest

Modern education emphasizes learner-centered instruction, where students actively participate in

constructing knowledge rather than passively receiving information.
