- The role of a teacher as a facilitator: Teaching and learning are inseparable. The teacher and child may learn different dimensions or they may learn the same thing but they both learn.
- Effective Communication- The process of communication differs from speaker and listener. The process of communication of the speaker moves from reality to meaning to word (speaker), while the listener moves from word to meaning to reality (the listener). There is a need to recognize the importance of listening in teaching/learning. Understanding and agreeing – are distinct from each other. Understanding is the most important aspect of education, not agreeing and disagreeing.
- The difference between seeing and observing; between hearing and listening; between talking and communicating. The importance of noticing (paying attention) in learning, seeing and observing: the difference lies in noticing (paying attention). The teachers role is to draw students attention to reality
- Observing how education leads to imitation and (hidden) assumptions about who and what is ‘forward’, who and what is ‘developed’ and who and what is ‘backward’ etc. symbols.
- Investigating how textbooks create myths and assumptions in a hidden manner
- Importance of teaching from reality (which the child knows already) to meaning to word (that she/he is familiar with) and finally the alphabet.
