Authors’ response: The Ecology of Teaching and Learning

Hugh Gash & Fiona Murphy

Abstract

Abstract: Our response aims to clarify how we see the relation of theory to the processes of teaching and learning; we welcome the way the commentaries broaden the context of the target article, emphasising its role in current Irish educational practice; and also we welcome the educational insights provided by the commentators that can inform further studies in this area to facilitate learning and teaching, and empower learners and teachers.
