Dear Colleagues, Good Day
"Difference Between Teaching and Learning
Main Difference – Teaching vs Learning
Teaching and learning are important processes that are linked to the acquisition of knowledge, values, traditions, skills, behaviors, etc. These two processes are at the two ends of the knowledge acquisition process. Teaching involves imparting knowledge whereas learning involves acquiring knowledge. This is the main difference between teaching and learning.
What is Teaching
Teaching is the process of imparting knowledge or instructing someone to do something. However, the process of teaching may not only involve knowledge, it may also include different forms such values, manners, skills, behaviors, traditions, and stories.
Although we often associate teaching with professions in the field of education, teaching is something that we all do. Parents teach their children how to eat properly; grandparents may teach their grandkids old stories – in short, we all teach others something or the other.
Teaching in an educational institute is undertaken by professionals such as instructors, teachers, tutors, professors, and lecturers. The teaching that takes place in educational institutes is structured. The educators have schedules, syllabus, and curriculums; the students are also categorized into different grades and classes according to their age or knowledge levels. Traditional teaching methods mainly include the educator lecturing the students and the students memorizing or writing down what is said by the educator. But contemporary teaching methods mostly involve the active participation of the learners – the students are made to learn through experimenting, self-study, and experience.
What is Learning
Learning is the acquisition of knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences. The process of learning continues throughout all our lives – from the moment we are born to the moment we die. As babies, we learn to eat, to crawl, to walk, to talk, etc. and as we grow up we learn a wide range of other skills. This type of learning happens through observing, experimenting and experiencing.
Learning can occur consciously and unconsciously. Consciously learning occur through education, personal development, schooling, and training. We also learn without conscious awareness through different experiences. For example, talking with a colleague can help us learn some new things as well as watching a TV program. It’s not only human beings who have the ability to learn; animals, plants and even some machines also have the ability to learn.
A person’s capacity to learn varies depending on different factors such as personality, intelligence level, motivation, and learning style. A person becomes more interested in learning when he is prompted by curiosity and intrinsic motivation.
Most people associate learning with education we receive at educational institutes such as schools and universities. Some others think that learning is listening and accepting what they are taught. But we learn something every day in our lives and real learning involves understanding and applying or using what you understood in real life situations.

Learning: Learning is the acquisition of knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, etc.
Consciousness
Teaching: People can teach something to others even unconsciously.
Learning: People learn throughout their lives, either consciously or unconsciously.
Link between Teaching and Learning

learning and teaching, Both are closely related . Both are continuous process. both are complimentary to each other
Learning is perennial we have to else we will be taught !!!!! Pun intended !
Teaching is optional for profession and income :)
Teaching and learning are siblings. Yet, teaching involves more known impartation to the unknown while learning is usually the unknown tapping from the known. Both processes weave themselves together lately in the 21st century when the teaching and learning processes is now connectivism

Well Mr Tahir, I will say no more ....
Actually I was told that my thinking is unique , now it seems to be universal :(
• Definitions of Teaching and Learning:
• Teaching can be defined as the act of giving lessons on a subject to a class or pupils.
• Learning is used in the sense of acquiring knowledge.
• Performer:
• Teaching is performed by the teacher.
• Learning is performed by the student.
• Period:
• Teaching does not take place throughout a person’s life.
• Learning is a process that takes place throughout the lifespan of an individual.
• Effort:
• In most occasions, teaching is a conscious effort.
• Learning can be both a conscious and an unconscious effort.
• Motivation:
• For learning, motivation can come from within the individual or from external factors, such as teaching by another individual.
Hi dear,
Both are closale related. teaching need learning and learnin needs teaching. I agree with Dr. Hazim Hashim Tahir .
With my best regards!
Dr. Adel OUESLATI
I teach therefore I learn. 'in learning you will teach. in teaching you will learn'.
Dear Dr. Ahmad
I agree with the nice answer of Dr. H.H. Tahir
thank you Mr Tahir
best regards
I think, both of term closely related.
Teaching in school and same establishment.
Learn: we can learn in life and others.
Regards.
Dear Colleagues, Good Day,
Please, see the two attached slides that show the differences between " Teaching and Learning",...
Learning is a continuous process for every one of us. In a perfect world, we all learn something new every day. While we see formal education as a necessity to learning, there will always be various ways to learn. Teaching is just a more formal approach to giving lessons with learning as the end result.
Different Learning Styles
Through the formal approach to learning, students gain knowledge through systematic lessons, curriculum and courses. We may say that this approach is passive since students have to go through the same processes altogether. While this is true, there are various learning styles that students feel more comfortable with. These learning styles are listed below.
Different Teaching Approach
There’s a Chinese proverb: “A thousand teachers, a thousand approach.” This proverb resonates the truth, as every teacher is unique, their methods and approach to teaching will vary even a little bit. The most common approach to teaching includes teacher-centered and learner-centered. The learner centered approach see the teacher as the only reliable and sole source of information, in a sense this approach is dominated by the teacher. The learner-centered approach is a little more lax in terms of where the information comes from. In this approach, the learners have also seen a reliable source of information. There are other approaches to teaching and the disciplines of these approaches vary.
What’s the Difference between Learning and Teaching?
Differentiating learning and teaching is very easy. In direct definition, teaching is giving lessons about a particular subject to a group of learners. While learning is gaining knowledge by studying, being taught and experiencing. Many will assume that teaching is more important than learning, the truth is, learning is more important because it’s the end goal of teaching. Students can learn without teachers, but teachers can’t teach without learners.
Dear Colleagues, Good Day,
"The Difference Between Teaching and Learning
A lot of the time the terms “teaching” and “learning” are used interchangeably as if they mean the same thing. But that isn’t completely true. There are little differences between the words that are important. The differences are even greater when it comes to our SEN children.
“Teaching” is about instruction, transmitting information. It has moved on from the rote memorisation that was popular until the 60s but it is still external, something that is “done to” the pupils.
On the other hand “learning” is more internal. We can learn without being taught in that very traditional way, we can learn without even really realising we are learning. This approach is more self-directed and self-motivated.
Teaching theory and training, the national curriculum and most schools are built on the style of teaching where the teacher is in charge and instructs the class, transmitting the information to them. But many teachers and education professionals would like to change it and push towards the more collaborative, self-guided, learning style.
Our understanding of child development, psychology, education, the brain and many other subjects are all brought together in trying to design the best way for children to learn, and for that learning to be facilitated. Teachers then become more like guides, tutors and mentors. They provide direction and are a resource that is still invaluable, that does not change.
The learning approach allows a child’s natural curiosity to drive and motivate them. They engage more fully with the material as they feel a sense of ownership over what they are learning. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that this is so much more motivational. but it can be hard to achieve if children who struggle to read are given the same text books as their fluent reading peers. More creativity can be needed to get the message across and maintain interest.",...

I think that without learning ,it is difficult to become a good teacher.
Over the time, continued learning inculcates you with how to go for an impressive teaching or lecture.
Teaching = information provided by senders to touch one or more senses of perceivers (what is the difference with communication?)
Learning = information provided by teachers (senders) that will be perceived, memorized and eventually recombined with other memorized information (see other thread from a couple of weeks ago?)

I stand with Hazim Hashim Tahir point of view...So expository
Learning is when you think you didn't know, teaching is when you think you did know.
Dear Ahmed Ammar, thank you for your beautiful, interesting question.
In fact, both tasks complement in synergic interchange.
I had to learn some, before I teach.
And I keep on learning on daily basis... It is a neverending task, thus the pleasure of learning more and more...
I learn a lot from my students as I teach tutorials in interactive interchange. It is good and you learn more from their different perspectives.
They learn before they teach and I learn from what I teach.
Complementary tasks that depend on communication and that gain from synergic interchange.
However one cannot say that he or she knows each and everything.
Learning continues until your death but teaching is a kind of formal experience which can be discontinued as per your will.
However both of things go parallel in day to day work and can be assumed two sides of a coin namely life.
I think most of fellows will agree.
Good luck.

"Teaching and Learning Theories
Tomorrow's Teaching and Learning
Teaching and Learning Theories
There are many different theories regarding the way people learn. This section will very briefly explore some of them (in alphabetical order), which you might like to research further and try out with your own learners. However, don’t get too concerned thinking you must teach in a certain way because a theorist says so. What works with one group or individual learner might not work with another. You might find at first you are teaching the way you were taught at school, college or university. It might have suited you at the time, or it might have had a detrimental effect. Don’t be afraid to try something different and step out of your comfort zone. You will need to find out through experience what works and what doesn’t work with your learners.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism assumes a learner is essentially passive, and will be shaped through positive or negative reinforcement. Learning is therefore defined as a change in behavior. Skinner (1974) believed that behavior is a function of its consequences, i.e. learners will repeat the desired behavior if positive reinforcement is given. The behavior should not be repeated if negative feedback is given. Giving immediate feedback, whether positive or negative, should enable your learners to behave in a certain way. Positive reinforcement or rewards can include verbal feedback such as That’s great, you’ve produced that document without any errors or You’re certainly getting on well with that task, through to more tangible rewards such as a certificate at the end of the programme, or a promotion or pay rise at work.
Cognitivism
Cognitivism focuses on what happens in the mind such as thinking and problem-solving. New knowledge is built upon prior knowledge and learners need active participation in order to learn. Changes in behavior are observed, but only as an indication of what is taking place in the learner’s mind. Cognitivism uses the metaphor of the mind as a computer: information comes in, is processed, and learning takes place.",...

Great interaction with substantial learning.
Hopefully beneficial for all researchers.
I am studying to teach other people I am learning to study in the future

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,
Please, see these two interesting articles that are related to the thread:
Very nice question. Without learning anything, a person not become a good teacher. As a good teacher, a person must studying everything always.
I agree completely with the anwers given by Hazim Hashim Tahir.

In the world of instructional design, a learner can learn with or without the help of a teacher. When you teach someone, you provide them with content. Therefore, teaching involved giving out content. In other words, a teacher is a content provider.
On the other hand, when you learn something you absorb the content with the objective of changing a behavior or the capacity to behave in a given fashion. Therefore, learning involves absorbing content with or without the help of a teacher. In other words, a learner is a content absorber.
In conclusion, teaching is the process of providing content while learning is the process of absorbing content with or without the aid of a teacher.
Teaching is all about to show the direction or to give the compass through which the learners can reach the right place.
Learning is life long process.
Teaching is a process by which the teacher transmits the skills and knowledge to the learners.
teaching is about imparting knowledge and skills to the learner while learning is acquiring the skills and knowledge by the learner.
