THE LEARNER
The center of any education is the
Learner. Without the learner, there would be
no need for teaching. The teacher’s success to
guide the learner in the learning process will
depend greatly upon his insights into the
various factors basic to growth and
development and his knowledge of the
developmental characteristics of the learner.

THE NATURE OF THE LEARNING
PROCESS
Formal Education is based on the
premise that the learning process can be
directed and facilitated. Such direction and
facilitation, however, is not a simple task.
Unless a teacher has a clear knowledge and
understanding of this process he will find it
difficult to set the condition that will facilitate
learning success on part of the learners.

MOTIVATION IN LEARNING

where there is maximum mental activity
through strong motivation.
Motivation is process in which the
individual attention and interest are aroused
and directed toward definite goals to the
extent that his needs, whether basic or

THE LEARNING SITUATION
An important aspect of the educative
process is the Learning Situation. The learning
situation refers to the conditions outside the
learner which affects the learning.
Although it was said that the learning in
the classroom may occur in spite of the
teacher, it cannot be denied that the teacher is
still the key in classroom learning.

The Teacher - An Instrument of Power
by Haim Ginott
I have come to a frightening conclusion.
I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher I possess tremendous power
to make a child's life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture
or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response
that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or
de-escalated,
and a child humanized or de-humanized.
