Equally important is the learners' ability in applying personal knowledge and meanings to the curriculum and content presented. Combining these elements will both amplify and augment student learning, comprehension, and application. 21st Century middlelevel students need to acquire the skills, personal knowledge, and experiences for helping to determine their learning and educational processes. By facilitating the exploration of synnoetic and postmodernist tenets, educators can discuss and examine what strategies are effective and tantamount to middle-level students achievement and success.
