Teaching Is « Complex Human Activity Tt is So because teaching involves a wide range of human interactions, organizational arrangements, and material resources that converge on the teaching-learning process. Varied activities inherent in teaching are identified in this Aefintion by Garcia (1989:15-16): 1. Human Interactions. Teaching is considered a system of actions varied in form and content but directed toward learning: Its in the performance ofthese actions and in the interactions of the teacher with his students that learning takes place, ‘These actions and interactions are personal but they fare also logical in that they have a certain structure, a certain order, such that na matter where in the world teaching takes place it does so in accordance with opera tions that reflect the very nature of a teaching learning situation. ro ————— ve three variables such as rca operations i . mers SMe thar BM a 2 emo i ran = sher’s behavior vw anne enemas eet ee oa ‘otherwise known verbal sir = he rt ta a ‘Sigh language that is ea Ne yates fmm sieved vnges in the tone of voice, facial cai eg kines motion of the hands, 2738 Rais body.
