23.7.4 Learning
Learning is still the raison d' etre for REALs. Williams (1992) suggests that we investigate methods that help students abstract general principles from the study of cases and problems. What can teachers do to help students abstract general principles from context specific learning? She also suggests that we measure not only content-based learning but also improvement in skills related to learning to learn. I must expand our concern from how much students learn to the inclusion of how people learned what they learned. This leads directly to assessment issues.
