mapping in the table above)

A. Factual Knowledge: It is a knowledge that contains the basic elementsstudents must know if they are to be acquainted with the discipline or
to solve any of the problems in it.
B. Conceptual Knowledge: It includes knowledge of categories and classifications and the relationships between and among them.
C. Procedural Knowledge:It is the knowledge that takes the form of series of logical steps to be followed. It is more skill oriented and can include
algorithms, techniques and methods.
D. Meta Cognitive Knowledge:It is the knowledge of one’s own cognition.
