      2. Findings: "All new learning involves transfer of information based on previous learning"
         1. Design learning environments with Prior Knowledge in mind.
            1. Uncover misconceptions
               1. Diagnostic Teaching
                  1. 1. Discover what Students think about problems

                        1. 3. Provide situations to re-test ideas in relation to misconceptions
      3. Motivation = Percieved Usefulness
      4. Transfer of Knowledege = Similarity of Environments
      5. Developing Metacognitive Skills = Greater Transfer of Learning

      2. Learning: Student Approaches
         1. 1. Surface
            1. "I will soak up my professors knowledge like a sponge."
         2. 2. Deep
            1. "How is this connected to other things I know!?"
            2. "Can other novel problems or issues be addressed?"
            3. Promote
               1. Background Knowledge or Context
               2. Teaching Methods
                  1. Active Engagement
                  2. See "Methods"
               3. Assessments
                  1. Emphasis on Conceptual Understanding
         3. 3. Strategic
            1. "What do I need to get an A?"
2. Assessment & Evaluation
   1. Outcome Variables
      1. Implementaiton
      2. Instructor Experience
      3. Student Experience
      4. Student Intellectual Development
         1. See Perry Schema
      5. Good for Some Outcomes, Not Others
         1. Problem Based Learning
            1. Factual Knowledge VS Critical Thinking
      6. Sorting Out Nested Method Effect
         1. Experiential Learning, Constructivism etc
      7. Inductive VS Deductive Study Difficult!
3. Methods
   1. Inquiry Learning
      1. Key Components
         1. Questions to be Answered
         2. Problems to be Solved
         3. Observations to be Explained
