The teaching-learning activities are varied and complex to be harmonized. These elements and activities include learners and their individual differences, the methods of teaching, the material to be taught, classroom conditions, teaching devices and aids, questioning, answering, assignments, thinking, enjoying, creating, practical skills, discussions and many other things.
