The Application of CTL in the learning process

schooalsh.blog - The basic idea of ​​learning the emergence of CTL model view of the nature of learning is the occurrence of behavioral changes, so do not just memorize. Students should be able to construct knowledge in their own minds. The knowledge gained can not be separated into facts or opposition to a separate but reflect the skills that can be applied. Also the children will learn better if the environment can be created naturally. So that learning can be more meaningful, because the child has what should be learned not only knows. Besides the target-oriented learning proven mastery of the material failed in equipping children in solving problems in the long term life, this is due to the relative orientation of mastery of the material only temporarily limited "memory" that is formed temporarily. On the other hand focus on contextual learning puts students in a meaningful context that connects students with prior knowledge of the material being studied. Therefore by this CTL model is expected that students can work actively explore knowledge by experience, not a transfer of knowledge from teacher to student.
