Relationship between Teaching & Learning:

Some pertinent points are as follows:

It is also possible that while the teacher tries to provide equal opportunities & learning situations through her teaching, the variance in the learning achievement of her students may be quite significant.
Similarly, if one decides to learn something, it is not essential for him/her to wait for a teacher or teaching formalities. S/he may learn through experience. Self-study or self-learning may also help him/her in achieving his/her target.

While teaching is an interactive process involving interaction between teacher and students, learning may be purely a one-sided activity needing no interaction.
B. O. Smith (1961), "Learning does not necessarily issue from teaching, that teaching is one thing and learning, is quite another"
It is wrong to suggest and accept that learning is directly proportional to teaching or vice versa. Both the concepts may exist and function independently.
It is true that teaching and learning may go independently, but for the good things to come there is a need of a good relationship between the two. They are to join hands, come near and have a synthesis, known as teaching-learning process.

To enhance our understanding, I invite learners and teachers to contribute constructively & positively with their insights & experiences on the above-mentioned relationship between teaching & learning.
