Each student is different in how they understand and grasp lessons. Learning strategies and learning theories are tools to assist teachers in lesson planning for the different types of students to impart knowledge efficiently. This paper looks at the indirect learning strategy and the learning theory of teaching.
Description of the strategy identified its benefits and any potential challenges.
From lesson one, learning theories describe how students receive, process, and retain knowledge during class sessions. There are several instruction strategies. Indirect strategy Is a learner-oriented strategy that encourages student participation. Students are encouraged to be more involved in the lesson through problem-solving, asking questions, investigating, and forming hypotheses. This method is learner-driven and uses students' interest and curiosity to its advantage. The advantage of this strategy is that it gives students the chance to develop problem-solving skills, engage students, and develop logic and analytic skills. Two main disadvantages are that there may not be enough time for all the questions and analysis by students to be looked into. Under the strategy, there is problem-solving, case studies, and concept mapping as methods of learning. 
Explanation of how the strategy applies to one of the learning theories from the Topic 1 assignment.
The cognitive learning theory applies in the indirect learning strategy because it looks at how people think and that external and internal elements can influence learners. The theory focused on internal processing, where students learn by creating links between what they understood from past lessons and what they are currently learning. Group discussions and group problem solving are applied in this theory, as is used in the indirect learning strategy. While solving the exercises, students must draw on the rules they have been taught-drawing on their memory-then using their judgment and reasoning, decide which rule is appropriate for the questions, and they must solve and apply it (Claire and Muaed 2014) students can derive answers to questions by cognition when they connect they perceive answers in their minds in their understanding.
