Theoretical Framework
A principle based on the Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences states that "Learners learn in different ways, at different rates, for different reasons." Each pupil learns in a way different from the others. This may be resulted from their developmental differences, interests, predispositions in learning, and capabilities. This theory implies that teachers should be knowledgeable on handling different types of learners.
The Law of Exercise of Edrward Thorndike, states that, the more frequently a stimulus and response are associated with each other, the more likely the particular response will follow the stimulus and it also indicates that experiences reinforces
