The areas of focus included: how the participants reacted to the program as a whole; how it influenced their teaching practices (if at all); what factors helped or hindered making those changes; and whether any other institutional effects could be seen from the program.</p><p>All respondents found the seminar program to be of value, and consistently reported an increased awareness of a more learner-centered teaching philosophy, which led to numerous changes in their teaching practices.</p> 2010-01-23 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1259957028 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1259957028 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
