Abstract

Effective teaching is a multi-tasking approach that involves multi-group cooperation which should address the contemporary societal demands. The process requires efficient teaching methodologies. Moreover, an efficient teaching approach might fill the gap between the current theories and reality. According to Bloom’s taxonomy, expected skills via teaching include knowledge dimensions: factual, conceptual, procedural and meta-cognitive, whereas the cognitive process dimensions are remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. Although the lower and higher stages have been introduced for the completion of the identified skills, field research could address almost all the expected skills at once. Hence, field research could be recognized as the key that offers substantial error-proof results while addressing social requirements.
