The document discusses the principle of context in learning. It states that instruction is most effective when learning takes place through situations and circumstances that provide meaningful context. It outlines 6 levels of context, ranging from just using textbooks to incorporating field experiences. The highest levels of context involve demonstrations from experts, and personal experiences that allow for concrete, firsthand understanding beyond just verbal explanations. Providing proper context can engage learners more and help illustrate ideas clearly.

4. Levels in the Principle of
Context (Leus, 2005)

5. LEVEL 1 – Context consist of Textbook Only
 Commonly verbal
 Limited verbal responses to
verbal stimuli
 Lacks dynamic appeal
 No problem- solving
experience

6. LEVEL 2 – Textbook together with supplemental materials
 Wider in context
 More readings of expository
 Advocates more extensive
readings

7. LEVEL 3 – Non-academic and Current materials
 Concrete, specific, actual,
and immediate
 Reality vs. Theories
 Leads to extensive
discussions

8. LEVEL 4 – Multi–sensory aids
 Effective
 Related to
contemplated learning
 Ineffective if learner is
passive

9. Learning Style

11. LEVEL 5 – Demonstration and Presentation by Experts
 Concrete setting
 Learning beyond classroom
setting

12. LEVEL 6– Field experiences, personal, social,
community understanding
 Concrete, abundant, dynamic
readily apprehended setting for
learning
 Goes beyond verbalization
 Concrete and firsthand
experiences

16.  The use of context in teaching
can motivate learners to gain
more interest and provide clear
understanding and illustrate
ideas.
