3 Elements of teaching and Learning

Teaching and learning involves the process of transferring knowledge from the one who is giving to the
one who is receiving. Teaching process cannot be performed if there is one element that is missing
among the three of the teaching and learning elements. There is what we called as elements of
teaching and learning processes. These elements are necessary to be able to make teaching and
learning possible. Without one of these elements, there could be no real teaching or learning process
that will exist. It is so important that the presence of these elements is present in the process of
teaching, considering that all of them play an important role in the system
The elements of teaching and learning process are the teacher, the leaner as well as the good learning
environment. It is being considered that learning occur when there is established relationship among
these three elements. The teaching as well as the learning activity depends upon how these elements
works together.
The teacher is considered as the element that has the main role in the teaching-learning process.
He/she is considered as the so-called prime mover of the educational processes, thus he she directs
the flow of the whole process. The teacher is the one that facilitates the whole process of leaning. He or
she directs its flow and serve as main control of the teaching learning process.
The learners are considered as the key participant in the teaching and learning process. They are
considered as the primary subject or the main reason why the process is implemented. The knowledge
that acquired by the learners will decide if the teaching and learning objectives are achieved. Learners
vary from one another in the aspects of learning. There are those learners that learn fast while there
are those learners that learn in average or slower.
The favorable environment, participates in the teaching-learning process by providing a place where
there is a smooth flow of communication, avoiding some common barriers between the teacher and the
learner. The presence of a good environment is so much important in the teaching and learning
process. The good environment provides a smooth flow of communication between the learners and
the teachers, thus it facilitates a well executed teaching and learning process. A good environment is
necessary for learning. The reason why we should make sure that we should have this kind of
environment, as we teach or we learn.

Garners Multiple Intelligence theory

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of
education at Harvard University These intelligences are: Linguistic intelligence (“word smart”)
Logical-
mathematical intelligence(“number/reasoning smart”)

Howard Gardner of Harvard has identified seven distinct intelligences. This theory has emerged from
recent cognitive research and "documents the extent to which students possess different kinds of minds
and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways," according to Gardner
(1991). According to this theory, "we are all able to know the world through language, logical-
mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems
or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. Where
individuals differ is in the strength of these intelligences - the so-called profile of intelligences -and in
the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve
diverse problems, and progress in various domains."

Gardner says that these differences "challenge an educational system that assumes that everyone can
learn the same materials in the same way and that a uniform, universal measure suffices to test student
learning. Indeed, as currently constituted, our educational system is heavily biased toward linguistic
modes of instruction and assessment and, to a somewhat lesser degree, toward logical-quantitative
modes as well." Gardner argues that "a contrasting set of assumptions is more likely to be
educationally effective. Students learn in ways that are identifiably distinctive. The broad spectrum of
students - and perhaps the society as a whole - would be better served if disciplines could be presented
in a numbers of ways and learning could be assessed through a variety of means." The learning styles
are as follows:

Visual-Spatial - think in terms of physical space, as do architects and sailors. Very aware of their
environments. They like to draw, do jigsaw puzzles, read maps, daydream. They can be taught through
drawings, verbal and physical imagery.
