Directed learning is more effective than undirected learning.
To maximize learning, students should "inquire into" rather than "be instructed in" the subject matter. Problem-oriented approaches to teaching improve learning.
Students learn what they practice.
Supervised practice that is most effective occurs in a functional educational experience.
