This approach will help students become more engaged, motivated, and prepared for the challenges of the 21 st century. We must understand the importance of subject matter significance and practical utility. Also by providing strategies for balancing the connections concepts to real-world applications, incorporate problem-based learning, by encourage interdisciplinary connections, focusing on skills development, and use technology to enhance learning. Lastly, by considering time constraints, teacher expertise in both the theoretical and practical aspects of their subject to effectively bridge the gap between the two, and student engagement to make sure that learners are engaged in all aspects of learning.
