Definition
Synthesis is the compromise a learner makes between knowledge and beliefs held in their head before the learning experience and the new knowledge and beliefs that are introduced during the learning experience.[1]
'Hence there are two kinds of method, one for discovering the truth, which is known as analysis, or the method of resolution, and which can also be called the method of discovery. The other is for making the truth understood by others once it is found. This is known as synthesis, or the method of composition, and can also be called the method of instruction.'[2]
