Creating Contexts for Learning and Self-Authorship: Constructive-Developmental Pedagogy (Vanderbilt Issues in Higher Education)

Marica B. Baxter Magolda provides teaching techniques that help bridge the gap between professor and student--a gap that leaves each struggling to understand the other's position. This goal can be achieved by redefining how students view knowledge- as an evolving and endless process with multiple viewpoints, not as a certainty. Viewing knowledge in this way will help the student develop their own assumptions and achieve self-authorship.
