Teaching and Learning or Learning and Teaching

Does good teaching foster life-long learning. Does our emphasis on effective instruction really foster the type of learning one desires? Where should I our emphasis fall? Should it be on effective instruction or in assisting students in learning how to learn? Overall, students who do well in our academic programs are those who know how to learn. Those that struggle are generally not lazy, they are just not comfortable with the instructional methodology employed in academic circles. I suggest that we change our focus from teaching or instruction to learning for two reasons: (1) before we were teachers we were learners and (2) our focus ought to be on preparing the student to effectively navigate the discipline which we teach. This leaves us with the perennial question, "How ought this to be done?"
