4. Abstract
The paper presents a conceptual model for thinking about the process of teaching and learning based on how teachers respond to the question: “What do you mean by teaching?”
There emerge four basic theories of teaching:
- There is the transfer theory, which treats knowledge as a commodity to be transferred from one vessel to
another.
- There is the shaping theory, which treats teaching as a process of shaping, or moulding students to a
predetermined pattern.
- Thirdly there is the travelling theory which treats a subject, as a terrain to be explored with hills to be
climbed for better viewpoints with the teacher am the travelling companion or expert guide.
- Finally, there is the growing theory, which focuses more attention on the intellectual and emotional
development of the learner.
"En conclusion à son article, Fox (1983) note que quelle que soit la conception qu’un professeur utilise pour l’aider à penser au processus de l’enseignement, cette conception affecte les stratégies qu’il utilise et donne une coloration à ses attitudes vis-à-vis des étudiants et de tous les programmes de formation qu’il suivra."
