 Readiness: readiness implies a degree of
concentration and eagerness. individuals
learn best when they are physically, mentally
and emotionally read to learn, and do not
learn well it they see no reason for learning.

strong, almost unshakable, impression. Things
learned first create a strong impression. Means that is
difficult to erase. This means that what is taught
must be right the first time.
 Recency: the principle of recency states that things
most recently learners are best remembered.
Conversely, the further a student is removed time
wise from a new fact or understanding, the more
difficult it is to remember.

student will learn the real thing than from a
substitute. For example a student can get more
understanding and appreciation of a movie by
watching it than by reading the script.

freedom to bear the results of action- these
are the three great freedoms that constitute
personal responsibility. If no freedom is
granted, students may have little interest in
learning.
