¡¡¡¡What is learning and what is teaching and how do they interact?

¡¡¡¡Consider again some traditional definitions. A search in contemporary dictionaries reveals that learning is ¡°acquiring or getting of knowledge of a subject or a skill by study, experience or instruction.¡± A more specialized definition might read as follows. ¡°Learning is a relatively permanent change in a behavioral tendency and is the result of reinforced practice.¡± Similarly, teaching, which is implied in the first definition of learning, may be defined as ¡°showing or helping someone to learn how to do something, giving instructions, guiding in the study of something, providing with knowledge, causing to know or understand.¡± How awkward these definitions are! Isn¬ðt it rather curious that professional lexicographers(´Çµä±à׫ÈË) cannot devise more precise scientific definitions? More than perhaps anything else, such definitions reflect the difficulty of defining complex concepts like learning and teaching.
