Respect involves valuing each learner’s ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives, creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere. Reciprocity emphasizes mutual exchange; teachers and students learn from each other, fostering collaboration. Responsibility highlights the importance of each individual's accountability in their learning journey, encouraging self-discipline and ethical behavior.
