Many teachers find it difficult to change how they teach and learn:

Because they learned mathematics or science or any other learning areas in ways that are very different from those reflected in the national science and mathematics standards. They learned by memorizing information and others’ explanations through a transmission model. These experiences served as powerful models for their own teaching and created a script that they followed in their own teaching (Stigler and Hiebert, 1999). (Loucks-Horsley et al., p.49)
