Barber, Bill
Educational Leadership, v43 n8 p55-57 May 1986

Presents evidence showing that good learning environments, interactive situations, and less restricted access to community and school resources (including new technologies) were of greater significance. Faults schools' organizational structure and physical layout for retarding students' learning experience. (18 references) (MLH)
