While teaching about the tools used in agriculture, the teacher collects real agricultural tools and shows them to the students. His teaching is based on which of the following teaching maxims?

Explanation

The maxims of teaching are discussed below:

From concrete to abstract:

• The abstract is confusing, difficult to understand, and subjective.
• The acquisition of new knowledge may become a simpler task when it is supported with concrete examples, objects, and events.

From actual to the representative:

• Actual objects are always better than their replica.
• A wise teacher should always lead his students from actual performance to artificial representation.
• For example, the teacher uses real agricultural tools to teach about the tools used in agriculture.

From definite to indefinite:

• One can always trust the definite (tested ones) and therefore indefinite things, concepts, events, or knowledge may be easily approached for catching the indefinite ones.

From known to unknown:

• A wise teacher should always proceed from the known previous knowledge to explore the unknown.
• Therefore, he should always start with examples and then present the rules.
