1.2.3 View of Learning Process
Learning is a process in which students initiatively construct knowledge, rather than keep it from teachers. Learning is accomplished best using a hands-on approach. Students construct knowledge by experimentation, and not by being told what will happen, and are left to make their own inferences, discoveries and conclusions. No one can be replaced. In learning process, the original knowledge will be adjusted and changed due to the absorption of new knowledge in the two ways. They are called assimilation and readjustment.

1.2.4 View of Learning Atmosphere
Knowledge can be constructed with the help of others through cooperation, communication and many other ways under a certain context. In other words, ideal learning atmosphere contains four elements-- context, cooperation, communication and construction.
The context provided must be beneficial to students while constructing knowledge. Cooperation should work through the whole learning process. More specifically, cooperation in class means discussion or debate in team work. Moreover, communication, as the basic way to cooperate with others, plays an extremely important role. It is essential for teachers and students to share information, exchange opinions and make assessment. Construction is the final purpose. It helps students to know the property of things, figure out the rule, and then master the complex relations between them.
