Learner-Centered Teaching: Putting the Research on Learning into Practice

This book presents the research-based case that Learner-Centered Teaching (LCT) offers the best means to optimize student learning in college, and offers examples and ideas for putting it into practice, as well the underlying rationale. It also starts from the premise that many faculty are much closer to being learner-centered teachers than they think, but don't have the full conceptual understanding of the process to achieve its full impact. There is sometimes a gap between what we would like to achieve in our teaching and the knowledge and strategies needed to make it happen. ... The presentation is informed by the questions and concerns raised by faculty from over sixty colleges with whom Terry Doyle has worked.
