Carlson (1989) presented a notable passage by Knowles, which stated that "teaching is a process of guided interaction between the teacher, the student, and the materials of instruction... Teaching, like medical practice, is mostly a matter of cooperation with nature. The function of the teacher is to guide the student into the kind of experiences that will enable him (sic) to develop his own natural potentialities" (pars. 17).
Choosing which theory to use or mix of theories should depend upon the student's needs.
