The teaching process is rational because it relies on systematic planning, evidence-based practices, and logical frameworks to design and implement effective learning experiences. It is reflective as educators continuously evaluate their teaching methods, assess student outcomes, and adapt their approaches based on feedback and self-assessment. This combination fosters an environment of critical thinking and continuous improvement, ensuring that teaching strategies meet the diverse needs of learners. Ultimately, rationality and reflection enhance both teaching effectiveness and student engagement.
