Rethinking Education From First Principles, Carolyn Osborne

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal

The resulting project was “What Difference Does Instruction Make?” I asked students to collect data on their students, record the nature of instruction given, and then collect data following the instruction.

The instruction in the project could be on any topic and did not have to be taught by the student him or herself; …
