education.

Suggestions
Based on what I read and I understand it, there are some
things that I understood from this teaching strategy including
teachers can apply this method as an alternative model in
which the teaching of this approach is able to develop
students' horizons. Due to this approach students are more
active and have a great curiosity in solving a problem or
issue that they think it is interesting.
