that there were heavenly bodies that moved eternally in great circles. Furthermore, Aristotle believed that every moving substance changes their position constantly, but in a perfect regular way, without beginning or ending (Melchert, p.176).

Philosophy of Adult Learning Introduction There are various theories and models associated with Androgyny; the science of adult learning, (Knowles, 1970).

Brain Based Learning For many years science and education have concentrated on learning and the mind, but today’s neuroscientists and educators are seeing learning from a different scope – the brain. From this viewpoint, learning is creating links – by linking the information in which the student has prior knowledge or interest, the student is able to expand upon this and learn something else which he can relate it to. For example, in a history class when discussing Native Americans, a teacher
