• Resumen

  • Higher education is under huge ?nancial and political pressures to change. Another critical driver is not always as present in the conversation: just what is being learned and how well. A recently proposed model for transformational teaching provides three empirically determined principles for what might constitute criteria for the distinctiveness of higher education.

    The third of these principles, which is to promote positive, learning-related attitudes, values, and beliefs, creates a compelling challenge for educators to demonstrate the enduring values from an education.
