Contextual Teaching and Learning

This is a very effective way to teach because it engages the student. We all want our learning to be relevant. We want it to mean something to us. We want it to be applicable to a real-life situation. If this is the case, our learning and retention increase dramatically.

I see it in the medical classes when they first get to touch a "patient" in taking vitals. Once on the job, the experience is crucial.
