Social interactionism emphasises the dynamic nature of the interplay between teachers, learners and tasks, and provides a view of learning as arising from interactions with others.
Four key sets of factors which influence the learning process - teachers^ learners, tasks and contexts. They all interact as part of a dynamic, ongoing process.
Teachers select tasks which reflect their beliefs about teaching and learning. Learners interpret tasks in ways that are meaningful and personal to them as individuals. The task is therefore the interface between the eacher and learners. Teachers and learners also interact with each other; the way that teachers behave in classrooms reflects their values and beliefs, and the way in which learners react to teachers will be affected by the individual characteristics of the learners and the feelings that the teacher conveys to them.
the context in which the learning rakes place will play an important part in shaping what happens within it.the physical environment； the whole school ethos; the wider social environment; the political environment and the cultural setting.
It is worth noting that a change in any one part of the model will influence other parts.the whole balance will be affected.
