The interdisciplinary science of learning is based on research from many fields that study learning. despite their different perspectives, experts in the learning sciences agree on some basic assumptions. one basic assumption is that experts have deep conceptual knowledge. another is that learning comes from the learner. describe at least two practices in traditional classrooms that seem inconsistent with these assumptions.

There are several practices within traditional classrooms that are inconsistent with new interdisciplinary assumptions of learning. One of them is the vertical organization of the activities and tasks, the teacher is the one who makes the rules and gives the instructions, the student plays a pasive role in his or her own learning, limiting his participation to answer questions and follow tasks. This practice is inconsistent with the assumption that learning comes from the learner and that he must play a more active rol in his learning process and in the classroom.

Another one is the memorization of definitions and concepts as a proof that the student has learned something. There isn't an intention for the student to have a deep conceptual knowledge and to associate new concepts with ones he already has, instead he is only asked to memorize them.
