"learning occurs if only the child add something new to the present information". one of the dimensions of Pedagogy is correlating the prior knowledge with new knowledge.

We being secondary teachers are able to meet them when they reach only to secondary grade. so does students current level really makes a difference for us to be an effective teacher? Do primary teachers have more responsibility in nurturing their students to be more ideal than secondary teachers?
