Synopsis

Arguing that the core issue behind the success or failure of higher education practices is the classroom experiences that students bring to learning, the authors present classroom-based research to support their contentions and as a guide for university teachers to use for their teaching. After presenting the theoretical model upon which the research is based, they explore students experiences, perceptions, and approaches towards learning and discuss ways in which professors can integrate this research into their practice.
