How does ACT adult distance learning in higher education work?
Full-blown learning occurs when our brain works to extract information from a text, how we absorb and interpret the information before finally start to express it in the form of written work. The entire process of studying involves multiple aspects – it enables comprehension meaningreading and search for data. The new cognitive framework in turn emphasizes concept hierarchy and interrelation; finally, input transformation which denotes organizing data and writing. The newly gained thinking structures are not exclusively dependent on classic memorization; rather it strengthens our reasoning capability and problem-solving skills. This intellectual development is permanent and always expanding. Learning at Asian College of Teachers is not simply getting trained;it is an incorporation of those newly acquired skills and knowledge.
