Abstract

Life is shaped from within and also by the environment. What plant
or tree a seed will be and the suitable environment it needs is
determined from within. This is also true for the teaching-learning
process that aims to promote human growth. An effective pedagogy
is guided by a certain vision, a frame of mind, a set of foundational
ideas and principles. We are clear as to what we want to achieve
through our teaching.
