Visual metaphors for teaching and explanations



Teaching is like baking cakes, with the cake as the students, teachers as the cook and the process of baking as teaching. Baking cakes should be step by step. You cannot put the eggs, flour and milk into the oven before mixing the ingredients. Otherwise, the cake will not be delicious. Just like teaching, we have to start with easy task and then to challenging task.



When putting it into the oven, we should be aware of the baking time as teaching pace influence the learning atmosphere and outcomes.




If it is well-baked, of course, you can enjoy the cake right away. In this way, learning outcomes are achieved.



If the cooking time is not managed well, the cake will be overcooked. We may have to teach the students once again!
