CHAPTER # 1 THE CONCEPT, FEATURES, PLANNING AND PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING

Teaching and learning are the twin activities involved in the total educative process. In this sense, teaching and learning are inseparable. This makes the relationship between teaching and learning the same as that which exists between the mother and the child, the teacher and the taught. In the educative process, the teacher is to teach and the child is to learn. But the child is not a passive recipient of what the teacher proposes to give him; rather, he is an active partner in the successful completion of the process. But all this takes place in an environment which should be conducive to the acts of teaching and learning.
