Teacher-Student Educative Process

In the academe, the process of educating students or the educative process starts with the goal of providing students with knowledge and skills in different subject areas. It is the process of achieving this goal.

The educative process or the process of providing knowledge to students comprises of providing information, reinforcing the information through exercises, clarifying and reviewing materials and testing with the aim of verifying the learning.

1. Providing Information – To start the educative process, the teacher, trainer, instructor or educator provides information to the learners using different educational means like teaching in person, books and other materials. It is in personal instruction that students are able to ask questions.
2. Re-Enforcing Using Exercises – Students perform seat works and other activities so that they can practice and re-enforce what they have learned. Exercises get students more involved in the instruction-learning activity and their interest is maintained through them. Students are also asked to discuss lessons in groups which enables them to strengthen their knowledge. Aside from classroom or online student exercises, students can re-enforce what they have learned through repetitive reading or reviewing and doing practice exercises by themselves. They also do this by doing homeworks and checking them in class.
3. Verifying Knowledge – To complete the process of giving education, the students' learnings should be verified. Students are given tests, quizzes or examinations so that teachers can verify their learning. In doing so, the teachers also evaluate their teaching. Tests are designed to have passing rates which should be representative of sufficient knowledge.

The usual process of providing education includes providing information, facilitating exercises, clarifying questions and assessment in the form of testing. The steps involved are present in the delivery of education in the classroom and online or distance setting. Students in self-study and in personal study time may skip some steps.
