Bloom’s taxonomy

Answer 1

These come under experimental teaching

Students learn better when they can relate to a subject. Learning happens when the brain is engaged in making connections and creating familiar patterns. Experimental teaching engages students of all ages in multiple modes of learning, problem solving, trial and error. These all build patterns in students’ thinking about how persons, places, or events relate to each other.

This type of learning changes the role of the teacher from information dispenser to co-explorer of knowledge. Evaluation of student learning is richer because students get to show what they’ve learned. Learning by doing provides better results over time as students move through school and on to their careers.
