Reviews
“Hoidn’s book presents an overdue scholarly work investigating how instructors can design and bring to life student-centered learning environments. The developed educational model constitutes a significant and comprehensive contribution to higher education learning and instruction, tying empirical findings, namely authentic participation-oriented educational practices, to existing state-of-the-art research on constructivist learning and instruction. The detailed findings support higher education faculty, curriculum and faculty developers and administrators in making informed instructional decisions to scaffold deep learning.” (Rolf Dubs, Professor Emeritus, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland)
“This book, in a bravura way, relates theoretical models with case study research and learning practice itself. This is, without debate, an exceptionally seminal reading for anybody who intends to create high quality student-centered classroom environments.” (Martin Hejnala, Department of OP Management, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, Czech Republic)
