The use of learning strategies developed on the basis of structural learning theory by Joseph M. Scandura in teaching mathematics: A sample implementation model

In order to achieve success in teaching applications, a model or system containing generalizations and principles put forward to account for human learning referring to several comprehensive studies is needed. Learning theories are aimed to explain under which circumstances learning occurs and universal laws of learning. Learning theories are developed under the light of various philosophical notions and assumptions. The various materials made use of in the learning-teaching processes provide efficient learning, thinking, communication and permanency of knowledge. In the current study, we investigated strategies developed on the basis of Structural Learning Theory (SLT) by Joseph M. Scandura and sought to develop a sample material which will aid teaching successive numbers to fourth grade students in primary school.
