There are many theories being used to archieve the desired results. However, one must learn to juxtapose all theories involved. Constructivism, Congitivism, and Behaviourism must all be connected with each other. Euphemism is lanaguage's black art, but eclectism is hope for an intelligent being. Thus, it should be opt-in that methodological techniques alone are not enough to comprehend the desired, needed wishes of students. If our students are learning Computer Science (lets say), we want them to think like programmers not memorize historic facts or syntax errors. Teaching Computer Science, or any other subjects or desciplines, without understanding the purpose of, therefore, will likely create pupils of robotic minds. Rather, than create intelligent beings that are capable of learning for themselve in the future. Burrhus Fredrick Skinner believes that learning is a behaviourism approach, and others believe differently. Skinner is neither incorrect of what he believes, nor are other scholars. What makes them wrong is believing that there are only one concept and not yielding to others.[concepts] Intelligence may sought to have many definitions. However, one must know that intelligence and smart are not the same. As dumb and stupid are unrelated. Intelligence has many forms. These includes (but are not limited to) Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and crystallized intelligence. Dumb means unable to speak. Stupid is the incapabity to gather information to do well on tested materials. Thus, a person can be stupid but intelligent. There have been research conducted which shows students failing basic mathematics, but are able to sucessfully run a 'street business" This shows a very important concepts. That is, as we move into higher education, language is strict. The vast majority of learners will memorize but never will understand. The purpose of this message is to help you (the reader of this course) to aid your future pupils in understanding rather than memorization. It is a lockean tone that transcend to my ears when knowledge is achieved without meaning.
