My Teaching Experience from Student to Professional with Lesson Plans

I had the pleasure of finding a highly aesthetic representation of these 3 perspectives found on Joan Wink’s site:

*Transmission

*Generative

*Formative

Transmission- teacher transmits information directly into students, also known as the banking theory (Freire supports this theory)

Generative- students are more involved in learning, teacher-student relationship is more interactive, and more student questions are answered. But there still remains more to be learned and understood, because the teacher is still explaining about learning instead of having the students make it happen through creating real-life situations.

Transformative- this is the most effective type of learning, though it rarely occurs in classrooms because it can be difficult for teachers to incorporate. Teacher is a partner in the learning practice as learning leaves the traditional classroom environment and real-world learning occurs. Students take knowledge they learn and transform it into new ideas and are creatively involved and interested.
