Often this is due to the frustration new teachers experience whenstudents show little interest in learning and the teacher has little practical experience with theapplications of science and mathematics that could help to motivate and even inspire students.Yet teaching remains a source of fulfillment and

Oneway they will seek understanding is through the use of examples. Most of us find thatexamples help us learn and teachers often give examples for that reason.Cowan writes that he had been convinced that conceptual understanding began with examplesby the mathematics educator Richard Skemp.
