What could be more important to college and university facultythan teaching well?
Indeed, in the past several years researchers have not onlyinvestigated key variables influencing teaching and learning, theyalso have applied empirical findings to develop and refine newsystems of teaching and learning–approaches that provide theinfrastructure for the day-to-day organization and assessment ofstudent learning over the course of an academic term. This volumepresents an overview of these systems and offers an assessment ofthe effectiveness of each relative to both student learning andenjoyment of the learning process.
Written by leading teaching scholars, these systems include thelecture, problem-based learning, case studies, team-based learning, interteaching, service-learning, just-in-time teaching, Web-basedcomputer-aided personalized instruction, and online teaching. Eachcontributor outlines the basic principles of a system, describeshow to implement the system, and reviews the system’soverall effectiveness.
This is the 128th volume of the Jossey-Bass higher educationquarterly report New Directions for Teaching and Learning, which offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques forimproving college teaching based on the experience of seasonedinstructors and the latest findings of educational andpsychological researchers.
