Hi Derbe:
You've identified many key attributes, all good. I suppose one way of stating our goal is to prepare the student through the transfer of knowledge for the purpose of learning in readiness for productive work. We haven't taught if the student hasn't learned, although of course there are many exceptions.
Getting students to not just learn facts but also to think on their own is one of the biggest challenges I think we have as educators.
Regards, Barry
