Teaching and learning form a process which, although fundamental to education, has not received the attention it deserves either in social work education or in higher education generally. This process has traditionally been studied using methods, such as experimental observation, developed originally for the study of physical phenomena. Such investigations record only the obvious, external behaviour of the teachers/learners observed; the conclusions which are drawn are based only on what is observed. Yet, humans have been endowed with the ability to reflect, describe and discuss their thoughts, feelings and actions. There exists the possibility that previous efforts to understand teaching and learning could be enhanced by extending an invitation to dialogue to those who are principally and directly involved, that is, educators and students.
