Experts as Effective Teachers: Understanding the Relevance of Cognition, Emotion, and Relation in Education

Experts as Effective Teachers: Understanding the Relevance of Cognition, Emotion, and Relation in Education wishes to inspire experts to reflect upon their practice as teachers from a cognitive, emotional and relational point of view and to derive from this reflection new perspectives for their own teaching methods. Thus, they may be enabled to match the professionalism of their already existing expertise in the field with the professional level of their teaching.
