The Teaching-Learning Process and the Theory of Human Becoming

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to contribute to the human becoming school of thought in nursing by defining the teaching-learning process. From a human becoming perspective, teaching-learning is a process of engaging with others in coming to know. The teaching-learning process as a lived experience of engaging with others in coming to know involves the multidimensional processes of expanding imaginal margins, naming the new, going with content-process shifts, abiding with paradox, giving meaning, inviting dialogue, noticing the now, and growing story.
