The Significance of Emulation in the Oral Interaction Between Teacher and Students

Author

  • Tina Kindeberg

Summary, in English

The lack of attention to the role of emotions generally has

led modern learning theories to neglect the importance of

emulation as a pedagogical support to students’ learning.

One reason could be that the influence of teacher personality

is not considered in relation to learning outcome. Another

reason may be that the concept of emulation has been used

as a psychological conception for one-way transmission.

From a pedagogical rhetorical perspective, it is here argued

that emulation and its pedagogical function is rooted in three

human conditions: the biological, moral and political. The

framework for this reasoning is discussed, as well as

historical changes in pedagogical focus. Finally, it is

concluded that the educative character of the teacher has a

crucial impact on how willing students are to interact and

share the teachers’ knowledge, skills and values. Therefore,

there is a need for a greater awareness of these aspects to be

developed among teachers.
