Based on personal experience, learning is when the instructor interacts with the students, making them understand and develop skills from in and outside of the classroom. For example, rather than having the teacher only show how to solve a math problem on the board with hopes that you will understand it perfectly from then on. The teacher would also interact with…

The difference between common sense and science. Plainly stated common sense is information gathered from everyday knowledge and science is thorough research on a particular subject with concluded facts. In a wilderness of common sense, science stands a lonely pinnacle One of the strongest features of science is that it can correct our seriously flawed cognition and give us an unfiltered view of reality. Most people put a lot of faith into relying on common sense and intuition, but as any…

encounter many students with learning disabilities or learning differences. These things can be anything between attention deficit disorder to down syndrome. It is the teacher’s job to understand what that child is going through in order to ensure that they receive the best available education possible.

But ones with minor learning differences will be seen in everyday…

The student shows up at a particular time; the instructor presents the information, the student takes the information and tests to see whether he or she retained the information. (Chambers, 2016) One benefit to the traditional classroom is face to face interactions. Being in a traditional classroom…
