Teacher’s Role in Mediated Learning: Cognitive & Social Growth

The Role of the Teacher/Mediator

Learning is a socially mediated process, which pushes students to go beyond what they can do alone. Mediation is a process of interaction between the human organism in development and adult experience. It implements the features that guide the teaching process, established in three categories:
