existing
,3. Leaner shapes and constructs knowledge by life experiences and

the learner gain understanding about how knowledge is constructed
and about the conscious told for constructing that knowledge

that teaching he student to process his or her own learning and
mastery of skill provides the greatest learning and retention
opportunities in the classroom. Students are taught to develop

teacher facilitates conceptual and cognitive learning process
◉Social and Behavioral Theories. Answer: look at social interactions
