Principle is a comprehensive law or doctrine
from which an accepted or professed rule of action or
conduct is derived.
It has been adopted from Latin word
princeps which means the beginning or the end of all
facts, circumstances or state of affairs.
This is also used to express the origin of
things and their fundamental laws and to bring out
the ultimate objectives (Zulueta, 2006).
Principles of Teaching

Learning principles are basic guidelines that explain how people learn. They can be used in many different situations
because they are generally true for most learners.
Example:
One learning principle is “Practice improves learning.”
Whether you’re learning math, playing basketball, or practicing a musical instrument, the more you practice, the better you become.
“Learning principles are like general rules that help us understand how people learn. These rules can be used in many different situations,
such as in school, at home, or when learning a new skill.
