Educational strategies are designed to cope with and fulfill the multifarious pedagogical and educational needs of teachers and learners. Moreover, no educational plan can possibly yield the required results without incorporating suitable instructive strategies. This research paper advocates the role and importance of schemas in learning new forms of knowledge and data in the perspective of class room teaching-learning. Cognitive approach is adopted to understand how students learn new forms of knowledge and experiences through different mental processes, quite unlike that of behaviorism. The concept of schema helps us understand how learners can link new pieces of information to the already existing knowledge in their minds. The notion of ‘Constructivist Approach’ has been extracted from the field of educational psychology for triangulation. Extracts are taken from the textbooks of English used in matriculation and intermediate through purposive sampling. Their analysis shows that schemas can play a vital role in enhancing the learning experience and making new forms of knowledge a permanent part of the memory of students which is the ultimate goal of education.

This article reflects about the effective and concrete learning of mathematics with the help of self-devised innovative activities, worksheets, project experiments and teaching aids. The present research shows if maximum participation of students is ensured -either in the mathematics laboratory activities or class room interactive questioning sessions like that of quiz- is really joyful learning of the subject. `Learning by doing` is very effective methodology in teaching learning process as the experience gained meticulously (Krockover, 1997). It remains permanently fixed in the minds of the children. Thus, innovative teaching aids and projects of mathematic laboratory plays a vital role in the conceptualization process. Some researchers emphasize on the children`s experience of school education that must be linked with the life outside the school. It brings joyful experience in the learning. Keeping this in mind, several opportunities are provided to students to construct their systematic knowledge by engaging them in activities, experiment, field visits, discussion with peers and teachers, group works, brainstorming sessions, collecting information from different sources, inquiring, listening, thinking and so on. The students are encouraged and allowed to share and explain their ideas and ask, pose and frame questions. Appropriate innovative tools and techniques are applied depending on the situation and requirement.

While countries are facing different stages in their COVID-19 infection rates, worldwide there are millions of students affected by universities’ facilities closures due to the pandemic. Some institutions have enforced strategies to transfer some courses to a virtual modality, but many Dental Schools have been challenged to deal with a situation which requires emergency measures to continue the academic course in the middle of lock-downs and social distancing measures. Despite the fact that the number of online academic programs available, especially graduate programs, has increased in diverse modalities, this pandemic forced e-learning processes to develop abruptly. The likelihood of using e-learning strategies in dentistry was substantiated in the scientific literature and an overview of these opportunities is presented. Additionally, the experience of the University of Costa Rica Faculty of Dentistry is presented, as it was evident that some of the key elements in a e-learning environment needed a quick enhancement and initiation of some processes was required. First, it was necessary to categorize the academic courses depending on their virtualization's possibility (curricula analysis and classification), to better understand the extent of the impact and the work needed to contain, as far as the possibilities allowed, negative consequences on students learning process. Second, teachers needed further training in the application of virtual strategies which they hadn’t used before. do Third, an evaluation of the students’ conditions and needs was conducted in a form of a survey. Finally, teachers and students activated the available virtual platforms. For many Dental Schools, this virtualization process is an ongoing progress although it was abruptly imposed, but this moment indeed represents an enormous opportunity to move forward and get immerse in the virtualization environment as a teaching/learning experience.

Objectives: Our medical school followed the traditional curriculum earlier, and due to a large amount of content embedded in each discipline, which had less scope for active and deep learning. To overcome this, we adopted an integrated curriculum and introduced a few active teaching/learning (T/L) methodologies, which promote deep learning and problem-solving skills. One such T/L methodology we introduced was team-based learning (TBL). Before implementing this active T/L methodology in the integrated curriculum, we evaluated the effectiveness of TBL in medical students from the traditional curriculum and aimed to determine students’ perceptions. Furthermore, we aimed to explore the perception of TBL in students who underwent integrated curriculum to evaluate the difference in their perception compared to the traditional curriculum. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in RAK Medical and Health Sciences University on the 1st year medical students from the traditional and integrated curriculum. Institutional ethical committee clearance and informed consent were obtained before starting the study. A pre-validated 5-item survey questionnaire comprising questions related to the content, process, and teamwork was used to obtain perceptions of students’ on TBL. Results: The students positively perceived the teaching-learning experience using TBL and understood the concepts better. Even the students with integrated curriculum had the same positive impact on their learning attitudes. The majority of students in both cohorts agreed that discussion among their teams helped them to learn better. Around two-thirds (66%) of students from the traditional curriculum and one-third (39%) of students from integrated curriculum wanted TBLs as T/L methodology over didactic lectures. Conclusion: TBL helped to learn better and understand the subject and promoted self and peer engagement, which facilitated their learning by clarifying the doubts with peers. Due to this positive TBL experience, most students from both curriculums recommended its use as a T/L method over lecture. Hence, TBL sessions in medical schools can be used as an effective T/L method to facilitate meaningful learning.

Teaching activities carried out by professional teachers are not only oriented towards the dimensions of the creative faculties, but are of the dimension and intention. Because in the perspective of educational psychology, teaching in principle means the process of teacher actions that make students learn. This behavior includes open behaviors such as reading skills (the realm of intention), closed nature such as thinking (the realm of copyright) and feeling (the realm of feeling) each teacher is responsible for determining the formulation of specific and general learning targets as goals of teaching and learning activities which must be achieved after the teaching-learning process activities are finished. The importance of learning, there are three forms of development that occur in every human being, namely motor development, that is development related to changes in physical abilities (motor skills), cognitive development, that is development related to intellectual abilities, social and moral development, namely the development process related to the process changes in the way each individual communicates or relates to others, both as individuals and as groups.
