Course Design, Teaching Method and Student Epistemology.

Sheppard, Christine; Gilbert, J.

Higher Education, v22 n3 p229-49 Oct 1991

A year-long study of knowledge development in 40 college students focused on the relationships between the historical and philosophical dimensions of the curriculum, teaching method, and quality of learning. Student exposure to the discipline's history and philosophy, discussion-based instruction, and personally meaningful topics were seen as most effective. (MSE)
