Abstract

Developments in teaching and learning have implications for every orthodontist. This paper describes some of the theories of teaching and learning that have led to a quiet revolution in higher education. Developments have included the incorporation of self-directed and problem-based learning concepts, together with a more active and interactive role for the learner. The importance of these changes for orthodontic education is discussed.
