(Merleau-Ponty, 2004) argues that our engagement with the world is not just cognitive or theoretical, but involves the emotional, practical, aesthetic and so on. He said that human experiences connect strongly with the notion that learning involves the exploration of the world from where one is and a clear understanding of how things relate to each other and to ourselves in the world. This resonate to me but does not give me answers on how we actually learn. I have read various theories of learning, such as behaviourism, constructivism, cognitivism and other teaching and learning empirical findings, all very interesting and describing different learning experiences. Also, the use of technology has been very helpful in designing a learning experience that the students can understand meaningfully.<\/p>\n
However, regardless of the type of the instruction designed in classroom. In general, I always have different level and quality of understanding in class. Contemporary studies on education show that students have different and multiple intelligences, they perceive the world around them differently and therefore learn differently. Mathematics can be represented and perceived in various ways, and how the students come to learn math is equally varied and diverse. I use technology to provide the students with comprehensive activities through which they can experience learning and meaningfully grasp and understand the concepts being taught. It remains that some students learn better than others. Why do some learn better than others? Is this related to the instructional design or to an intrinsic inert ability? Check out this video.<\/p>\n
