Studies in Continuing Education, v25 n2 p239-51 Nov 2003

Interviews with 53 part-time adult students in Hong Kong showed no consensus on what constitutes good teaching. Their perceptions of teaching were framed by conceptions of learning on a continuum from reproduction to self-determination. Position on this continuum was correlated with preference for didactic or facilitative teaching. (Contains 22 references.) (SK)
