Description: Examines a classroom that has a permissive, unstructured approach to teaching and learning. Emphasizes the passing of the directive-lecture method, authoritarian approach with its "empty vessel" concept of learning, and offers an approach which elicits student involvement, questioning, and closer relationships with peers and teachers. Provides specific evidence that a noisy, highly mobile group of students can proceed with complex learning tasks, and that the enhanced student-teacher rapport and enriched environment evoke superior learning.
