SYNERGIC

Ø  This teaching device is designed to develop a testing learning environment that fosters working together w/ the spirit of cooperation w/ a common purpose to share the benefits .This teaching alternative encourages the learners to develop creativity and exploration of new ideas in the areas of sciences and the arts.

One Weakness of Synergic as a Teaching Device

is that in creativity, the personal emotional component is more important than the rational. Education as a process must be oriented toward a rational approach and learners and teachers must always explore and engage in new ways and directions of thinking to solve problems.
