What and how we teach reflect personal views of our responsibilities in liberal education, and thus clarity about objectives is crucial to significant debate about teaching strategies. Learning liberal arts disciplines is the basic purpose of a curricular view of liberal education. With this view, our most significant teaching decisions concern the content of our discipline, and debate about teaching methods is relatively unimportant. Another and more comprehensive view considers not only disciplinary content but also development of cognitive styles and socio-psychological attributes fhaf he/p the student continue to learn and contribute in a complex world. Teaching methods are matters of great importance with this view. © 1982 by Association of American Geographers.
