Closure

is reached when the lesson is completed and
the teacher shows the link between past
knowledge and the new knowledge.
Cognitive closure: cognitive closure is
reached when the students have reached
closure and have made the link between old
and new knowledge.

giving pupils a feeling of achievement after a
lesson and encouraging them to continue to
strive and make improvements.
