It is the main step for shifting the students’ actions into transformative learning as it appeared by their perspectives, their initiatives, and their answers to the level or logical questions. Any person was not created as a dumb; everyone has their creative sides, smart horizon, and superb capacity which are not similar to each other, even if they are convinced and believe in themselves, they have just pushed their mind to work out and to release great motives.
