The fourth principle that we should look forward to is the need to view learning as an
to the students.
integrated whole. This means that teachers should be able to help students acquire
opportunities that can strengthen their connections across the curriculum and on the real
world as well. Another principle that we should focus to is seeing to it that learners see
themselves as capable and successful that is why teachers should communicate high
expectations for achievement to students and provide opportunities to develop self-esteem.
Giving support alongside academic challenges are also encouraged to ensure development on
the students’ part. We all know that learners have different ways of knowing and representing
knowledge. Not all learners are the same since they may come from diverse background.
With these in mind, teachers should create content that maximize learning opportunities and
would cater the needs of all the learners. Aside from that, a classroom armed with respect,
acknowledgement, encouragement, and belongingness will make students at ease. The last
principle and one of the most important is seeing reflection as an integral part of learning.
Student should be able to learn to reflect on their learning processes and experiences. Self-
assessment is essential in learning and students should be able to do it since it makes learning
more effective and meaningful.
In line with these seven (7) principles, we have the “learning pyramid” or sometimes
referred to as “cone of learning”. This pyramid model tells us that some methods of learning
are more effective than the others. The best way to learn is putting into action the knowledge
you have acquired that is why teaching others what we already know is the key to achieve
mastery. This can happen through peer teaching or study groups. When we do this, we retain
90% of what we learn. On the hand, we retain 75% of what we learn by practicing it. Students
