ABSTRACT

I merely utter the warning that education is a difficult problem, to be solved by no one simple formula.

(A.N.Whitehead)

We are now ready to develop the preliminary representation of different theories of teaching provided in chapter 2 into a more coherent model of instruction in higher education that consolidates the principles of effective teaching outlined in chapter 6. Its propositions, each based on our knowledge of how students learn, will guide the recommendations made in Parts 2 and 3 of the book.
