Human Factors
While executing a recovery from a power on stall during a training flight; I made visual contact with a high wing Cessna 172 or 182 approximately 100 feet to our left and at the same altitude. I immediately maneuvered to the right and initiated a climb in order to provide more spacing with the other aircraft. I do not believe the other aircraft ever had me in sight because it continued on the same heading and altitude after the event occurred.During the entire flight; I was communicating with ZZZ Approach Control with radar contact and a squawk code. Prior to initiating the power on stall maneuver; my student and I made 2 clearing turns to the right and left; with no traffic noted above; below; or at the same altitude. I believe the other aircraft involved was directly or nearly directly below us during the turns; which caused us not to see it. After the stall recovery; I noticed the aircraft climbing up to; and leveling off at our same altitude within approximately 100 feet traveling south to north.I attempted to make contact with the approach controller; but was only able to get a response after 3 attempts and approximately 5 minutes. I initially told the controller that it was within 300 feet; but after consideration; I believe that distance was significantly less. I was not given a traffic alert or altitude restriction during this particular phase of flight.
Flight Instructor on training flight reported a NMAC with another aircraft.
