Learning and Teaching Theories It is William Arthur Ward who said that “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” This famous statement holds to the argument that learning within or outside of the classroom setting is indeed a continuous and, therefore, a lifelong process. Attaining longevity in the learning process, therefore, demands that teachers have an in-depth understanding of how to present information to their learners in a manner that spurs them to pursue specific academic paths even in the absence of their tutors. To achieve the desired societal, intellectual enlightenment image, philosophers developed theories that have consistently shaped the approach by tutors to teaching and learning. Learning and teaching theories provide the teacher with a basic understanding of how individuals learn and also how they (teachers) could best explain, analyze, describe, and also envisage learning (Harasim, 2017).

Dopamine essay Introduction Dopamine, which is also termed as 3, 4-Dihydroxytyramine, serves as a neurotransmitter in the brain, which refers to chemicals neurons released to transmit electrical signals from one neuron to the next chemically. Dopaminergic neurons of the brain produce it. Dopaminergic neurons that produce dopamine are located in the ventral tegmental and the substantia area of the brain, both found in the midbrain and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. Hydroxyl groups are added to tyrosine, transforming it to Levo-DOPA, which is followed by the removal of carboxylic acid groups from the ethyl side chain that has links to the amine group, therefore, producing dopamine (Delcambre et al., 2016). After production, the neurotransmitters are packaged into synaptic vesicles and stored until dopamine release is induced in synaptic clefts, which cause binding to dopamine receptors. The binding of the neurotransmitters occurs in various types of dopamine receptors: D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5, which belong to the receptor family of the G-protein that can be divided into two major subclasses: D-1-like (D1 and D5) and D-2-like (D2,D3, D4).
