Learning and Teaching for the Twenty-First Century: Festschrift for Professor Phillip Hughes

Description

This book stresses learning and teaching over teaching and learning.

The book brings together thoughts and insights by international leaders in the fields of teaching and learning. It seeks to build bridges between researchers, policy makers and practitioners.
