The article presents an authentic learning situation that implies conditions for better learning. “Findings” are adopted after observation of a class (15 pupils + teacher), primary school, lower level. Better learning – it is suggested – is linked to pupils’ free scope framed in the teacher’s control and firmness, pupils’ attention to the teacher’s instruction, pleasant atmosphere (to be nice to the others), receptiveness combined with mutual respect, the teacher as designer of meaning-making and manifold stimulating impressions, the teacher’s responsibility to strengthen pupils’ self-image. In a sum the article emphasises relational-education. Neither teacher nor pupils can be better by them selves, but in respectful togetherness.
