Major New Ideas That Can Empower College Teaching</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p>Below is a list of major ideas on college teaching that have been introduced by books on college-level teaching published since 1990.</p><p>The point of this list is to illustrate that the scholars of teaching and learning are continuing to generate powerful new ideas year after year, thereby creating the possibility of enhancing the capabilities of college teachers everywhere - IF faculty members
can learn about these ideas and incorporate them into their teaching.</p><p>These ideas are shown in this document in two ways:</p><p>First, starting on this page, the ideas are shown in relation to four general <strong>
themes</strong> and several sub-themes.</p><p>Second, on page 3 of this document, the same ideas are shown as annotated bibliographies in
<strong>chronological</strong> order.</p><p>Also, at the end of the themes section, is a list of books and one website that contain collections of ideas on college-level teaching.</p><p align="center"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Four Themes and Sub-Themes</span></strong></p><p>The four themes shown in this section are:</p><p>I. General Perspectives on Teaching & Learning</p><p>II. Basic Tasks of Teaching</p><p>III. Dealing with Specific Teaching/Learning Situations</p><p>IV. Getting Better at Teaching</p><p>Under each sub-theme are internal links to the brief description of a book with an important idea related to that sub-theme. The links are in
<strong>blue</strong>. Put your cursor on the <strong>blue</strong> link, and press "Ctrl" and the "enter" key on your keyboard (or left-click on mouse) - and you will be taken to the annotated description and citation. Note: Some items are listed more than
once.</p><p><strong>I. </strong><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">GENERAL PERSPECTIVES ON TEACHING & LEARNING</span></strong></p><ul class="unIndentedList"><li><strong>Understanding students</strong>: <a href="#Learning_Styles">Learning_Styles</a></li><li><strong>Understanding how learning occurs</strong>: <a href="#How_the_Brain_Works">
