#PSY347#taooftheweek Looking back on my education I am bringing to understand teacher lead instruction and learner lead instruction. In elementary school i feel as though the teachers encouraged learner lead activities and in higher education its more focused on lectures.
After thinking more about students lead instruction I recall how my teachers would use this is elementary school. I aslways found learning to be more enjoyable, but it also took up more time. #Psy347#ahamoment
