In professional education, learning by teaching (German: Lernen durch Lehren; LdL) designates currently the method created by Jean-Pol Martin that allows pupils and students to prepare themselves to teach lessons, or parts of lessons. Learning by teaching should not be confused with presentations or lectures by students, as students not only convey a certain content, but also have the flexibility to convey the content as they choose or develop their own methods and didactic approaches in teaching classmates the material. Neither should it be confused with tutoring, because the teacher has intensive control of, and gives support for, the learning process in learning by teaching as against other methods.

Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or teaching:
“Ignorance of what real learning is, and a consequent suspicion of it; materialism, and a consequent intellectual laxity—both of these have done destructive work in the colleges.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“It is sentimentalism to assume that the teaching of life can always be fitted to the child’s interests, just as it is empty formalism to force the child to parrot the formulas of adult society. Interests can be created and stimulated.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
