Which is best? In the book by J.P. Miller and W.Seller, Curriculum: perspective and practice, three different methods of teaching are identified as; transmission, transaction and transformation. Transmission is the traditional method of one-way transfer of knowledge, from teacher to student; transaction teaching focuses on problem solving through dialog between student and teacher; and the transformation process is holistic and humanistic, taking in account the students all around attributes and maintaining a commitment to social and political change, which they maintain will create a better more democratic society. Which one of these models do you all think best suites our school system?
