//** “Tell me and I’ll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me, and I’ll understand” **// **-Chinese Proverb** Background knowledge and experience is crucial for children to enhance learning. Too often, information presented in the classroom is too complex, fast, and/or unfamiliar to some or perhaps all students. The fluctuation of background knowledge within the classroom is too great to ignore and not address. To help learners engage more fully, teachers implement Mayer’s Pre-training Principle. The Pre-training Principle helps to equip learners with knowledge to develop classroom achievement. The Pre-training Principle identifies/models how a system or process works, and also how each separate part is involved independently.

media type="custom" key="8409566" __**Open Response Question (ORQ): **__ The Pre-training Principle provides several advantages to equip learners with background knowledge and lay the foundation for higher levels of learning by more students, especially when the information is complex, fast paced, and unfamiliar.

Generating background information for students is crucial, but requires additional time. Explain in at least one (1) paragraph why the Pre-training Principle should be adhered to as needed to facilitate learning in the classroom.
