THE AESTHETIC MODEL OF TEACHING

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The primary purpose of this paper is to examine the strengths and weakenesses of the aesthetic model in describing some teaching activities. A fundamental rationale is to suggest that it seems to be almost impossible to find the universally applicable criteria or model for 'good teaching.' The aesthetic model, like many other models, has strengths and weaknesses in explaining good teaching activities. Through having studied this model, I strongly agree that teaching is a triadic relation, i.e., it is describale by the form "A teaches B to C." Since teaching is always in concrete situations which will vary the demands upon the teacher's activities, no general model for 'good teaching' or 'teaching for all purposes' can be applicable to all situations.
