In education, we
need to understand, carefully select, and use combinations of
teaching practices that together increase the probability of
helping students learn, knowing that these practices may not
work in all classrooms at all times.
The strongest possibility of improving student learning
emerges where schools implement multiple changes in the
teaching and learning activities affecting the daily life of students.For example,if the aim is to improve students’scientific
problem-solving skills, the school might plan to introducetraining for teachers in (1) use of the learning cycle approach;
(2) use of computer simulations;and (3) systemic approachesto problem solving. To simultaneously plan for the training
and other provisions needed to sustain all three of these
changes would be no small undertaking,but would hold great
promise for improving the quality of student problemsolving
