Every teacher has his/her own beliefs when it comes in teaching. Teachers themselves can identify their own teaching style based on their philosophy because of their beliefs that defines how they teach and manage the class.
Teacher Aiza believe in the theory of learning by doing, because for her it will be more effective if the students will have their experience or if they are the one who had the first hand experience, and it will be more effective if the students will manipulate objects instead of just listening from their teacher.
Teacher Aiza also believe with the progressivism approach, wherein the learning of the students will become more meaningful if the student is holistically ready, because we cannot force the student to learn if they are not yet ready or if the lessons are not appropriate for them.
I believe that you are an observant because you saw the different philosophy of your cooperating teacher. I hope that you will imitate the good things that Teacher Aiza do in her classroom.
