Abstract
This paper compares the attitudes towards the methods and purposes of tertiary education of 104 faculty and 240 students at a Filipino university. Some major areas of disagreement were found but the degree of congruence showed little relationship to performance in tertiary examinations. The implications of these findings are discussed and the Filipino results are contrasted with the results of US and Australian investigations.
