====**Metaphorical vs. Mechanical Learning -** It's important to **__match your instruction__** (Constructivist or Intensive-Explicit) **t__o the type of learning__** (mechanical or metaphorical) that you are targeting in a lesson.====
 * **Metaphorical Learning** - has no right or wrong outcome.
 * //__Constructivist__// - (discovery) teaching is often implemented to engage students in this type of learning.


 * **Mechanical Learning** - knowledge that is unambiguous and has a clear right or wrong answer. (e.g., memorization of essential concepts, grammatical terms and concepts, some learning strategies, etc.)
 * //__Intensive-Explicit__// - (direct, scaffolded instruction) teaching is often used to get students to master the content.
