Abstract: | This work is a discussion paper on the
basic principles of Symbolic
Interactionism (SI) theory. It analyzed
the principles within the action
perspective while applying them to the
process of learning in the classroom.
The theory assumes a social
constructivist role for the individual in
society in a macro-level approach
while seeing the learner applying them
on a micro-level approach in the
classroom. The learner is seen as a
classroom constructivist for whom
learning is his responsibility but with a
' mediator in the personality of an
instructor. The paper articulated
various recommendations for an
enhanced learning process in the
classroom based on quality social
interactions. It sees quality learning
as a solution lo the myriad social
problems in society. |
