  1. Jim Barnes Approach:
    Benefits:
    a- Deploy autonomy
    b- Boosts inner development
    Because, they are constantly doing and redoing things in order to learn from mistakes and accept weaknesses in order to improve learning.
    Disadvantages:
    a- Drilling or repetitive (or extensive) work can provoke lack of interest or monotony.
    b- If drilling applied and the student couldn’t improve, may cause depression or incentivise skip classes.
    If classes are reiterative, the main goal may be forgotten, and students may thing do the same thing over and over is pointless.


    Nancy Kwong Approach:
    Benefits:
    a- Innovates inside classroom
    b- Let students choose what is going to be shown, in order to pick something really useful for life.
    If students pick the books are going to be used, they will be really interested in read and actually use them, and so, the tools (books) are going to be used properly and wisely.
    Disadvantages:
    a- Loses the teacher status going at same level than students.
    b- May have difficulties with the management of the class. (student’s behaviour)
    If a teacher loses the hierarchy inside classrooms, it may end really badly for all the actors involved.


    Roberto Umbras Approach:
    Benefits:
    a- Boost student’s critical thinking and statements defence/supporting
    b- And also motivates inner development
    Disadvantages:
    a- Sometimes can be hard recall a huge amount of information
    b- Sometimes is difficult make students criticise things.

    In order were...
    Executive, Therapist & liberator approach, being the last one the more difficult to boost.
