Training Kit on Instructional Scaffolding
The profession of teaching requires that the teacher always carry the torch of development; this calls for embracing every new and useful proposal that achieves the learning objectives aimed at. This calls on us to constantly renew the way we present academic material so that we come up with an idea each time; this subject faces challenges that require all our efforts to address weak public interest and to give it the same care as other sciences, so that we achieve interest in it with love, passion, and vitality, and achieve a deep understanding of the material and make it meaningful learning.
