It covers all learning domains, namely the school as a learning environment,learners' characteristics and needs, classroom management and learning, learners' characteristics and learning activities, individual differences and the learning process, home-school link, and perceived roles of a teacher.

This slim volume also provides the education students and the instructor with suggested activities and questions that lead to the formulation of new and meaningful insights into the teaching learning process. Using the National Competency-based Teacher Standards as framework, the competencies included in the activity sheets sum up the necessary knowledge, disposition, and performance of would-be teachers. Moreover, it serves as reference and evaluation material for all those involved in experiential learning courses.
