Beyond Buzzwords

Why Some Ideas Fail to Improve Instruction

About this book

Beyond Buzzwords examines popular but ineffective instructional concepts and explains why many popular educational ideas lack evidence and theoretical support for improving instruction. Beyond Buzzwords critically examines instructional goals and the meaning of evidence-based instruction. A new instructional model is presented, based on scientifically sound learning theory that indicates how instructors can improve the quality of their instruction. Classroom and online instructional environments are contrasted in terms of key learning variables. Collaborative learning methods are also assessed in light of the presented model of higher-quality instruction. All instructors can improve their instructional quality through the principles and model presented.
