Summary:

What could be more important to college and university faculty than teaching well? Indeed, the sheer output of empirical research on teaching and learning and the number of journals and professional conferences devoted to improving teaching reflects higher education's burgeoning emphasis on preparing its teachers to do their jobs more effectively. In the past several years researchers have not only investigated key variables influencing teaching and learning, they also have applied empirical findings to develop and refine new systems of teaching and learning-approaches that provide the infrastructure for the day-to-day organization and assessment of student learning over the course of an academic term. This volume of New Directions for Teaching and Learning provides an overview of these systems and offers an assessment of the effectiveness of each relative to both student learning and enjoyment of the learning process. The contributors are leading teaching scholars who have been responsible for much of the research, theory, and application of these systems to college and university teaching. These systems include the lecture, problem-based learning, case studies, team-based learning, interteaching, service-learning, just-in-time teaching. Web-based computer-aided personalized instruction, and online teaching. Each contributor outlines the basic principles of a system, describes how to implement the system, and reviews the empirical research literature with respect to the system's overall effectiveness in producing student learning and enhancing student enjoyment of the learning process.
