Introduction
Hermeneutics, originating from the Greek word "hermeneutikos" meaning interpretation, is a
philosophical discipline concerned with the theory and methodology of interpretation,
particularly in the context of understanding texts, communication, and human experience. In the
realm of education, hermeneutics plays a crucial role in shaping the dynamics of learning and
teaching. This essay aims to explore the significance of hermeneutics theory in education,
focusing on its impact on student-teacher relationships and the role of critical theory.
Body
2.1 Effect on student–teacher relationships
Hermeneutics fosters an interpretative dialogue between students and teachers, emphasizing
mutual understanding and engagement. According to Brauer (2009), this interpretive process
involves both students and teachers in co-constructing meaning, transcending the traditional
hierarchical relationship. Instead of viewing education as a unidirectional transmission of
knowledge, hermeneutics encourages a dialogical approach where students actively participate in
the interpretation and reconstruction of knowledge.
