It is directional in nature. It refers to goal directed activities of the teachers. Thus, it is more close to science than arts.
strategy
- is a large or small group activity
that encourages students to focus on a topic and
contribute to the free flow of ideas
brainstorming
are effective ways to get students to practically apply their skills, and their
understanding of learned facts, to a real-world situation. They are particularly useful where situations are complex and solutions are uncertain
