rinciples prescribe the relationship among two or more concepts. These relationships are usually if-then relationships or cause-effect relationships. Other terms that are used for principles are propositions, axioms, theorems, and postulates. To make sure principle learning takes place, teachers must ensure that students have prior knowledge of the concepts that are being represented in the principle being taught. Instructors can use either the inquiry or expository approach to teach principles. An inquiry approach to principle learning involves the instructor presenting learners with examples and nonexamples of the principle and encouraging the learners to discover the principle. An expository approach has the instructor presenting and demonstrating the principle and the student practicing the principles application.
