A practical guide ...

In the last decade I have tried to go deeply into my instructional strategies that indeed help the student of higher education to development their intelligence, critical thinking and potential creative without neglecting the contents. It has been an arduous but very interesting challenge. It is wonderful to find in this book a practical guide that take into account the conceptual structure from each discipline. The author has given me many answers product of her experience, that I hope help me to focus and to order better my teaching strategies. The examples in this book show how to extrapolate the factual knowledge to the conceptual understanding to connect it with student's experiences to give it a personal meaning, so that they can solve the manifold and complex problems that they will have to face at the real world
