In this paper we considered the concept of How People Learn HPL framework that was used by a National Academy of Science Committee to organize what is known about learning and teaching (National Research Council, 2000).
The framework's includes four components where we to have "mini theories" about learning and teaching: * What should be taught, why it is important, and how this knowledge should be organized (knowledge-centeredness) * Who learns, how, and why (learner-centeredness) * What kinds of classroom, school, and school-community environments enhance learning (community-centeredness), and * What kinds of evidence for learning student ^, teachers, parents, and others can use to see if effective learning is really occurring (assessment-centeredness).
Teachers must learn to balance and integrate all four components of the HPL framework if they are to teach effectively. Let us consider each component in detail.

Knowledge-Centeredness Learning involves knowledge, they answer the question what to teach in compliance with the educational goals and, therefore, the kinds of things that are worth knowing. Problem solving that people expertise in an area affects their ability to remember and solve problems. Experts notice features of problems and situations that may escape the attention of novices, so students are expected to learn by observation and participation, teachers need to help students bring a mental organization to the learning experience. Experts' knowledge is connected and organized around important ideas of their disciplines. This organization of knowledge helps experts know when, why, and how aspects of
