Chapter 2 : Learning Interaction

In order for a teacher to teach, and interaction needs to happen. Either its a one way interaction or a two-way communication. When interaction happens, communication takes place and an information exchange will commence. Teaching is suppose to help students or individuals who are willing to learn gain information, and develops understanding of a certain matter.

Socialization takes place where we learn about our status, roles in a society and one's morality or behaviour in a social context. Socialization takes place in a few stages :

i) Primary Socialization
among close family like parents and siblings. It is where they develop motor skills, self concept, personality, communication skills and composition.

ii) Secondary Socialization
is where the primary socialization system becomes a support of them coming out of the circle into stepping into a smaller outside world circle. This is where they meet their friends, teachers, and other school staff and school community. It is also where they find a place in the community as to where they fit best.

iii) Re-socialization
This only happens when a person who has been living in a certain norm, joins another community and has to re-learn the ways of living in another community. It is where they put adaptation to use into fitting in the new way of life. An example can be made, i.e : A person who is so used of living a western lifestyle, decides to move to an Asian country, and has to re-learn on what is acceptable in th asian community, as well as the do's and don't s in the particular environment.

A few factors on how Socialization happens is by :
- Family
- Religion
- Education
- Economy
- Government / Environmental Political factors

In a school context, socialization are naturally segregated into these categories :

- students who have the same intellectual ability
- students who have higher intellectual ability
- students in a mixed ability group
- students who are grouped together according to tasks

Students can interact in a few ways too :
i) one way communication
electing a group leader in a group

ii) two way communication
the interaction between a group leader and his/her sub-ordinates

iii) two way group communication
when groups interact by communicating as a group to another to get a task done
