Research and Practice in Undergraduate Education: And Never the Twain Shall Meet?

Terenzini, Patrick T.

Higher Education, v38 n1 p33-48 Jul 1999

Identifies gaps between what research reveals about how college students learn and current academic, pedagogical, and administrative practices and policies. Offers five explanations of why these gaps exist and suggests that change must be systemic, and will also require that people relearn their roles, systematic measurement of progress, and a visible "triggering" opportunity.
