Teaching and learning
Teaching and learning as a field of research and area of knowledge deals with matters relating to the content of education and teaching. The subject of teaching and learning is deeply rooted in both scientific traditions and teaching practices.
The research questions which constitute the core of teaching and learning arise at the meeting point between specific subject-matter and the teaching and learning of that subject-matter which takes place under some form of activity. It is therefore of interest to study, for example, the content of the teaching and what justifies the selection of the content, who the teaching is aimed at, how their learning process works and who has power over the selection process.
Teaching and learning as a field of research and area of knowledge therefore deals with questions found at the point of intersection between teaching, learning and socialization and a subject content.
