This course prepares and equips students into prospective educators who know and understand the theory of learning, instruction, and how to apply in the classroom. Then, to achieve the learning outcomes of the courses, the active learning activity in the form of film analysis and simulation is used. Film analysis and simulation emphasizes students to discover and stimulate the theory of learning and instruction. The application of film analysis and simulation are done after the students presented the theory of learning so that they understand not only the material theoretically but are also able to discover, analyze, and demonstrate several theories of learning and instruction.
