Cognitive load, affective neurological dispositions and schemata can be the essential building blocks of appropriate input conducive to fostering higher orders of thinking as well as deep learning, however, the touchstones specifying teachers' and students' perceptions are entirely different.
How can we bridge this gap?
The teacher should have the ability to transform students' inputs to the right and apt ones by approaching them in a heuristic, thought provoking way. The teacher should be able to ensure that students gradually and systematically progress in the right direction.
In my opinion, teaching is fundamentally relational. If the teacher loves the subject then this can motivate and encourage the students to do the same.
What does your student need to be an active participant in your society? That is what the common goal should be, but usually is walked over by the political, industrial and educational elitists in each country. A little education is fine in most societies, but too much can rock the proverbial boat.
