Hi Atanu,

The stop from instruction to learning can be taken my just implementing methods and/or classroom techniques that foster learners evolvement with their learning process. Simulations can be a good option. Take a look at my contributions in my profile. I have conducted some research on scenario design, flipped learning, simulations and games.

New paradigm of "Learning-Focused" theories needs to offer guidelines for instruction in which:

• learners continue to work on a task until they reach high standards of achievement;

• learners can choose from a diversity of sound methods to support their learning;

• learning tasks and methods are designed to be more motivational for learners;

• well-designed resources and peers do more of the "teaching"

Dear George,

Thanks for your answer. I will appreciate if you elaborate your views, "None of the two paradigms is desirable or appealing. I would be more interested in how to get rid of them."

Cordially, Atanu

Dear Laura,

Would you please explain - "flipped learning?"

Best, Atanu
