Educating for Insight.
Perkins, D. N.
Educational Leadership, v49 n2 p4-8 Oct 1991

Three methods of teaching for understanding include teaching with mental models, coaching for understanding performances, and teaching for transfer. These approaches also help reconnect the curriculum. (29 references) (MLH)
