Allowing the student to learn for themselves.

This can also be self-discovery, by reading/listening
to the Savior one can interpret what it means for themselves
and apply it accordingly to their life.

Don't just learn for yourself, but go and teach yourself.

A discourse given by Elder Oaks in 1995 called Scripture
Reading and Revelation talks about teaching oneself.

I like one of the things mentioned was that one should be careful with commentaries; commentaries can give great insight but can limit one’s perception to new ideas about it.

Teach the people basic principles and let them govern themselves

This is a learning experience of testing for those
who are "governing themselves"

“Chapter 24: Leading in the Lord’s Way,” Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith (2011), 281–91
“I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.”

The Master Teacher taught us how to be Master Learners.

We are meant to be continuously learning
throughout our life time.

Alma 34:26-28 (Great Chapter)
Alma is talking about prayer.

In verse 27 he says, "Yea, and when you do not cry unto the Lord, let your hearts be full..." the footnote of full means meditate.

Meditate is meditar in Spanish and La Guia para el Estudio de Las Escrituras says *translated* To think or reflect profoundly, often concerning the scriptures or other divine things. Combined with prayer, mediation about the things of God can bring with them the revelation and comprehension.

The meaning of mediate combined with this scripture
denotes a continuous learning, even when one is not
"studying".

In order to learn anything we must be willing to dig deeper.

Matthew 13:10-13

We interpret the way we need them to be.

One should also be cautious seeking out the spirit
as to interpret it in a way harmonious with the Lord
and not in the philosophies of men.

James 1:5-6

2 Timothy 3:1-5
