learning as a process in which the teacher
pours information to student learners, much
like pouring water from a jug into cups. This
is based on the long accepted belief that the
teacher must perform his role of teaching so
that learning can occur.

characterized by student individually or in groups:

Performing computer word processing for text or graph

presentations
