Since Student looking for new vocabulary, they
tend to pay more attention and stay more
engaged. They are not simply receiving
information from someone else. They are
discovering it for themselves. And they cannot
discover it if they do not look first.
Students who learn with the discovery technique

own solutions within a lesson course with
supervision and assistance of a teacher. One

they already know or half-know. By using the
discovery technique we learn more about their
knowledge and abilities eliciting information from
them rather than telling things to them.
