 Importance
of understanding
the structure of a discipline
 “The
teaching and learning of
structure, rather than simply the
mastery of facts and techniques, is at
the center of the classic problem of
transfer... If earlier learning is to
render later learning easier, it must do
so by providing a general picture in
terms of which the relations between
things encountered earlier and later
are made as clear as possible” (p.12)
