The social worker may teach or educate the client. Teaching relationship.

I've heard my american friend use this term - personnaly educational conditions sounds more professional-

Eros,variously sublimated, has his place in the PEDAGOGIC SITUATION too. ...

Models of teaching and learning have their hidden costs. Some forms of teaching and learning require long periods of training of teachers for the acquisition of complex theories that could help them read the PEDAGOGIC SITUATION. http://myweb.lsbu.ac.uk/~lermans/MathsEdProduction.html

In aspiring to make this methodological approach more accessible, we have identified four questions which aim to capture these three aspects of social reality. These are:
1. What is assumed to be ‘common ground’ in the discourse?
2. How is this common ground legitimised within the discourse (i.e. how
does it become accepted by participants)?
3. How are different identities constructed in the discourse?
4. How are topics selected, changed and responded to?
The first two questions are intended to capture the Representation aspect, while the third question focuses on Identification and the fourth on Action.
In order to illustrate how these questions could be applied to actual on-line discourse, we present two vignettes taken from different networked e-learning environments. Both vignettes are examples of how participants respond to a particular PEDAGOGIC SITUATION and how they negotiate between themselves their assumptions about how to respond to the situation, their particular approaches and identities within this.

Suppose, for example, that the teacher is completely silent, or ‘lurks’. S/he can, nevertheless, review every contribution made by the student which might then be graded according to highly specialised principles and pass lists subsequently published. The problem for the student, of course, would be gaining access to the principles; arguably, this is not a PEDAGOGIC SITUATION, because there is no transmission. The teacher may transform the situation into a pedagogic one by employing either weakly or strongly framed strategies; open questioning or lecturing, say.

Knowledge, medical decision-making and the medical curriculum - These first two points relate to a third and somewhat more abstract issue. The level of explicitness that we are able and willing to invest in our pedagogy and curriculum not only reflects our preferred mode of knowing, but also our preferred mode of relating. Are we able to make explicit, and create a space for reflection on, not only the formal but also the more difficult, tragic and compromising dimensions of what we know and do? The aim here is not of course to produce an exhaustive record of great confessional depth and procedural detail, not least because doing so is both undesirable and impossible. 91 Rather, the question here is how productive a PEDAGOGIC SITUATION is when scientific and authoritative knowledge is allowed to impose a ‘learned’ distance, in contrast to one in which openness and trust make possible discussions about the intractable complexities of medical practice and decision-making?

Without the context hard to say with any certainty but as it comes from social work text it might relate to how children are being brought up. This could include their education as well as home life.

Having read the text I would have to say that \"child-rearing siuation\" sounds closer to the mark.
