Learning and teaching: the reciprocal link
1School of Business and Professional Studies, Mesa State College, 1100 North Avenue, Grand Junction, CO 81501, USA.
Background:
Learning and teaching are active processes occurring simultaneously on a continual basis. Within this framework, the learner and the teacher are reliant on each other. Understanding the intricacies of this linkage enhances the teacher's effectiveness in enabling learners to achieve their full potential.
Method:
A review of the literature on teaching and learning styles was completed.
Conclusion:
Learning best occurs when learners are motivated and attend to the important aspects of what is to be learned. Using a wide variety of teaching approaches in the hope of covering most individuals' preferences is expedient but not necessarily effective. The process of exploring the effectiveness of one's teaching styles enhances the ability to facilitate the learning process.
