Teaching and Learning with Stem Education Encyclopedia (SEE)

Human learning involves programming the individual’s brain. This has to be done by the person himself at his own pace and in the proper sequence from simplicity to increasing complexity.

Individualized teaching is not presently possible in schools and colleges with a class of 40 or more students. If the teacher gives home assignments to the students every day, he does not have the time to correct them. Also there is no assistance available for the students to solve the home assignment problems. Therefore, only 16 percent of American high school seniors are proficient in mathematics and interested in a STEM career.
