Learning involves a relatively permanent change in behavior through experience that results in improved skills, knowledge, and physical development. However, learning and maturation are different processes - maturation refers to biological development that occurs naturally at an individual's pace, while learning comes from experiences. Effective teaching requires explaining complex issues simply, conducting research on teaching methods, and providing multiple entry points for students to make connections based on their interests, prior knowledge, and experiences.

1st Reflection

Learning is a result of permanent change behaviour after encountered some experiences. Behaviours
will change after one’s acquire skills or they have different way of thinking or perception for
something. Learning will improve one’s skills, knowledge and physical structure. However, learning
will not enhance maturation. This is because according to Arnold Gessel, learning only occurs when
the student is matured. For example, the student needs to develop fine motor skills before they
mastered the skills of writing.

Teaching involves explaining complex issues in simple ways. Teaching and learning normally occurs
in classroom. Effective reaching requires many researches. Teachers need to do research on the best
way of teaching as different students have different learning styles. Teachers need to keep up to date
on various teaching styles as one size does not fits all.

2nd Reflection

Learning is relatively permanent change in behaviour brought about through experience. Skills,
knowledge and physical structures are the product or outcome of learning. However, we do not learn
to gain maturation and gaining maturation does not mean you learn. Maturation refers to the cognitive
readiness that stresses the importance of genetics in human mind and physical development,
according to Gesell’s Maturation Theory. When one has reach the peak of maturation, aging process
will occur. While learning occurs from the result of experience and knowledge, maturation occurs
through individual growth at their own pace (biological way). Learning can be further classify into
active and passive form. Speaking and writing are the main methods of language production whereas
reading and listening are considered to be passive as these skills involve the ability to comprehend
the spoken language instead of producing. An effective teaching is principled teaching as the content
and practices are grounded with evidence or research-based.

Teaching does not necessarily contribute to learning. This is why teachers need to provide students
with multiple entry points to the learning in terms of drawing their interests, prior knowledge and past
experience so that students have multiple solution paths to connect with new learning. When new
information is introduced, the brain has to find a way to reconcile it with prior learning. This process is
known as cognitive conflict. To endure this struggle, cultivation of intrinsic motivation requires
autonomy, connection and the pursuit of curiosity in the progression towards mastery. Giving
feedback and self-reflection are the pillars that sustains the student through the struggles of cognitive
conflict by translating learning to long-term memory.

Teaching and learning require a paradigm shift since most of the instructors still staying in their
comfort zone where traditional teaching methods and standardised perspectives and practices are
prepared instead of adapting to the new ones. For instance, teachers should encourage each student
to learn by themselves. Self-involvement in every activity is important in order to turn them into active
learners. They can receive professional feedback from their teachers instantaneously when mistakes
are made. This is one of the pedagogical content knowledge as teachers get to keep track of
students’ latest information and discover what is best for their learning. Teachers should constantly
aware that they are teaching students but not the subject matter so that students feel welcomed and
teachers feel pleased with their performance. In the end, the biggest reward of educating them is the
impression you left an imprint in their heart.
