This course is designed on Merrills First principles (M.F.P.) which consists of the following five principles:
Principle #1: Problem-Centered Learning Engage learners in solving real-world problems.
Principle #2: Activation Relate learning to previous knowledge and experience.
Principle #3: Demonstration Demonstrate what learners must learn rather than simply telling them.
Principle #4: Application Provide learners with practice activities during training.
Principle #5: Integration Prompt learners to apply newly learned knowledge to their cognitive development.
