The Impact of Academics' Learning and Teaching Preferences on their Teaching Practices: A Pilot Study.

Willcoxson, Lesley

Studies in Higher Education, v23 n1 p59-70 Mar 1998

A study examined the relationship between the way 15 faculty members like to learn and the way they like to teach, and the reasons for their teaching strategies. It also compared teachers' and their students' perceptions of their teaching. Results suggest little enthusiasm for lecturing as a teaching/learning method, but few attempts by academics to depart from the method. (Author/MSE)
