Gabelnick, Faith; MacGregor, Jean; Matthews, Roberta S.; Smith, Barbara Leigh
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n41 p89-93 Spr 1990
At a time when higher education appears to be diverging from a sense of shared purpose, learning communities offer a way to maintain the balance between striving for oneself and contributing to the common good. They promote cooperation, help students forge interdisciplinary connections, empower students, revitalize the institutional environment, counteract increasing fragmentation in learning, and help develop critical consciousness.
