Principles of Learning and Teaching
In order to be an effective teacher, one needs to understand the principles of teaching and learning. The effectiveness and the success of teachers with students depend a lot on this. However, even with the understanding of this principle, there will be failures with some students due to a lack of motivation on the part of the student.

Instructional Design Theory
“I am always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught. “
Winston Churchill
So it is not only the slackers who dislike being taught. What is it about learning and teaching that makes it difficult for some and easy for others? If we go back to our school days and observe the classroom setting, we come across various teaching styles and many different learning techniques. The question here is which one works best to impart knowledge. Is there a different technique for each subject? Or does it depend upon the learning audience? The ultimate question is, What are the factors that ensure an excellent learning experience?

Educational Learning Theories
Over the last few decades, the number of theories of how children learn has increased tenfold. These theories are not always based on quality psychological research, and can often conflict with each other, leaving today’s educators at a loss as to how to engage with each of their students. This article aims to introduce Neil Fleming’s VAK system, a very simple theory that outlines three very broad types of learning styles and how these can be incorporated into a classroom.

Foundation Stage Curriculum
The very idea of Foundation Stage Curriculum is based upon the philosophy that learning is not spontaneous. In fact it should be properly planned and structured in a particular way so that there is special emphasis upon activities that are not just educating and motivating but are fun for every child. Therefore the people engaged in delivering the Foundation Stage curriculum focus on providing children with a mode of learning through planned play.
