Abstract

This  paper  approaches  the  phenomena  of  teaching  and  learning  by  considering  the  three  axes  of  this process,  the  trilogy  Learning  –  Teaching  –  Evaluation.  It  approaches  learning  from  a  constructivist  view, giving particular attention to Ausubel’s; Novak’s; Hanesian’s meaningful learning theory. It emphasizes that learning is done by the learner, and when teachers understand how differently students learn, they may help them  to  learn  better.  The  paper  also  deals  with  the  learning  model  as  a  process  of  conceptual  change, through considering the adapted version of the model developed by Posner et al. In the results, the paper points  out  that  for  meaningful  learning  to  occur,  it  is  necessary  to  associate  the  new  material  with  the learner’s  relevant  prior  knowledge.  Also,  it  focuses  on  how  extra  class  assistance,  in  the  form  of  tutorial sessions, may attenuate the lack of prior knowledge through clarification of concepts.
