Higher Learning

Bok concludes that the competition for the best students, the most advanced scholarship, the most successful scientific research, the best facilities--has helped to produce venturesome, adaptable, and varied universities. But because the process of learning itself is imperfectly understood, it is difficult to achieve sustained progress in the quality of education or even to determine which educational innovations actually enhance learning.Bok, Derek C. is the author of 'Higher Learning' with ISBN 9780674391765 and ISBN 0674391764.
