    4. Mediational Teaching Approach

      Mediation goes beyond instruction: the teacher becomes involved in a learning relationship with the learner in  
      which he/she attempts to create linkages for the learner which assist to structure his/her thinking.

     

  

The goal of mediation is to arouse the potential of the learner to become a self-evolving actor.
