چکیده (انگلیسی):

College and university teaching has come under intense scrutiny in recent years. Scholars agree
that effective teaching is much more than the transmission of knowledge. However, they may
disagree as to what effective teaching entails. This paper provides a perspective that effective
teaching, and thus learning, is enhanced when appropriate instructional theories are clearly
linked to correlated teaching strategies. It discusses the purpose of theories and models in that
they explain and predict behavior. Furthermore, it presents the Instructional Theory-Strategy
Model and demonstrates how theory and strategy are linked. If theory does indeed explain and
predict behavior, faculty can increase learning opportunities by linking the appropriate
instructional theory to its corresponding teaching strategy.
