The 3PT & Ii model - of the teacher-student relationship
Abstract
The research is conceptual, introducing a synthetic picture of the teacher-student relationship with the environment in which they develop throughout their lives. Starting from the conception of cognitive and social constructivism (Piaget, 1952; Vîgotsky, 1978) and the alternative Reggio Emilia pedagogy (Hewitt, 2001; Moss, 2019), we use the TPACK model (Mishra & Koehler, 2006). On their foundation, we build a new integrative model in which the development of the professor, the student, and the environment support and influence each other. The model enables understanding of the role of the means and the prioritization of the unity of interests and ideals of the people who relate. The TPACK model serves as a relevant example to illustrate the benefits of technology and its relationship with pedagogy. The 3PT&Ii model situates technology as both a source of teaching tools and a mediator of relationships with other established discoveries in human and societal development. 3PT&Ii eliminates the error of an obsessive demand for schools to solely adapt to new technologies, arguing instead that humanity constantly refines and adapts means according to evolving needs and expectations. Technology and its tools have consistently played integral roles and meanings. The model emphasizes that humans produce everything, including innovative technologies, with decisions resting within individuals, communities, and society. The 3PT&Ii model is explanatory and illustrative, providing a framework for understanding individual, group, and societal development. Definitions of communication often oversimplify the relationship between Sender - Channel - Receiver and Feedback; digitization allows for dynamic imagery, and we aim to present the model accordingly. Explanations of the 3PT&Ii model are rooted in the T-time axis and directed towards the educational ideal represented by I.
