Does Learning Theory Influence Teaching Practices?
Whitaker, Kathryn S.; Moses, Monte C.
European Journal of Teacher Education, v11 n2-3 p143-47 1988

Findings also suggest that many teachers cannot differentiate between learning theory and teaching practices. Recommendations for teacher education conclude a discussion of survey results. (IAH)
