                          %EFFORT WITHOUT DIRECTION 800027

     People can not make a significant effort without some
sense of direction.  Students can not study harder without
knowing  what  to try to do.   Teachers can not try to  be
more  helpful to students who are trying to learn,  unless
the  teachers  have  some sense of what  is  essential  to
effective  learning.   Effective effort depends upon  some
source  of direction.   It is not enough to be willing  to
make  an  effort.    The necessary effort can not be  made
without a sense of direction.   The sense of direction may
originate  in  role models,   traditions,   prescriptions,
instructions, visions, fantasies, theory, desire, etc.  If
there is no sense of direction, there can be little if any
effort made.  It is not helpful to say to somebody without
a sense of direction  that they should try harder.   It is
more   helpful   to  offer  guidance   regarding   helpful
directions in which to direct their efforts.

     For  students and teachers---it is helpful  to  offer
role models and a theoretical structure in terms of  which
to  understand  what contexts are conducive  to  learning.
Such models and an associated theory will offer  direction
which is essential to effective instruction and learning.
