On the duality of teaching

Zhang Xiao-jie

Abstract

Duality of teaching means pre-design and generative in the process of teaching.Pre-design teaching is a teaching form influenced by pre-design thought with emphasizing on teaching aim,teaching design by teacher,learning achievement of student,order of teaching,and so on.Pre-design teaching shows more obvious tendency of scientism in the level of theory and practice.Generative teaching is a teaching form influenced by generative thought with emphasizing display aim and focusing on teaching process,teaching affairs,interactive method in teaching between teacher and student,and so on.Generative teaching shows more obvious tendency of humanism in the level of theory and practice.Since teaching is an activity of science and humanity,there is dual nature in teaching,they are scientific pre-design and humane generative.And the relationship between the duality of teaching is coexistence and complementary,not opposite.Teaching researchers should strengthen the study on generative teaching in order to make up the shortage of this study in the past.
