Student-critical learning is far from the traditional view and, to some degree, against the channelling of minds into disciplines. The dilemma our universities are facing is a conflict between teaching and learning. Criticism and original thought are secondary and often not wanted.
Little consideration is given for the individual or innovative thought.
This is the ordinary teaching of dogma of the middle ages - and earlier. It is easy on staff and students and it promotes mediocrity. Now we are advocating student-centred learning and want the students to think for themselves. See the table of major hopes for our children. In essence, a development from what is known to what is unknown.
