The Research On Learning The Skills Of Ideological And Political Science

Knowledge and skill are two of the most commonly used concepts in education. But before Gagne, these two concepts have never been illustrated in scientific way. The five learning outcomes in Gagne's theory make a scientific division between knowledge and skill.
