lesson and how to teach it to the students. If the teacher is aware of the students'
prior knowledge of the subject, he or she can decide how much of the lesson will
be discussed. As a result, the teacher really aids the student in learning more

maintains a balance between what the teacher should cover in detail and what
the student already knows. As a result, the teacher may make the most of the
lesson's allotted time by sparing the students from repetition and lengthy

students in realizing that they can accomplish tasks on their own, mainly
studying. This does not, however, imply that we will stop guiding them. This will
only help them transition from doing a task with help to doing a task
