NEW TEACHING TECHNIQUES IN 21ST CENTURY CLASSES

The main goal of education is to make use of ideas, theories, and concepts to create new things in order not to have people learn things mechanically and repeat the same things as the previous generations. Cognition is “the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses”. It is an interactive process between the learner and the environment. Students learn better by putting the language in use and interacting with the environment rather than learning new words, concepts and theories mechanically. Learning is a complex process which comprises knowledge, judgment, reasoning, memory and of course analysis. People, especially children use schemas which are the basic building blocks of knowledge and enable us to form a mental representation of the world (the learning process is closely linked to the biological maturation of a person and the way he interacts with the world). (McLeod 2019). If we want to have students have a better future, we need to change their way of thinking since at an early age. Thus, teachers need to design modern school curriculum and also implement new contemporary techniques if they want to have better learning outcomes
