The best way, as I see it, is to make formal training available on the basics — and then provide support for informal learning — however it happens, journals, conferences, Googling, webinars, forums, coaching for advanced learners.

The only stuff I’m really familiar with specifically on what you’re talking about is Kragier & Jerden (2007). They talk about the model you’re describing, but I haven’t seen any data on it yet. Do you have a citation?

You have to be specific about what type of learner control can lead to poor performance and for whom. Usually, control over content leads to poor performance for any learner. However, control over pace or sequence can be helpful for a learner with high cognitive ability and a mastery goal orientation. I’d like to give a “shout out” to Dr. Kraiger! :-)

Good luck on your transition to teaching…I look forward to learning more about your research findings.
