Excellent report on the student-centric pedagogy status of its implementation in the US higher education. As mentioned by one of my mentors, Dr. Tracey Bird, this pedagogy, so crucial in early child education, gets lost as students evolve in their grade years. The sad news is that the book is from 1991, and the situation has not changed substantially today from 30 years ago.
