Abstract
The book Women's Ways of Knowing (Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, & Tarule, 1986) and its suggested educational methodologies were used to teach a learning theory course. I minimized lecturing, promoted discussion, and shared the educational process in a variety of ways. Assignments included a case study of students' own “ways of knowing,” a group presentation, and the construction of a theory of learning and an educational system implied by it. Students positively evaluated the case study, the Belenky et al. book, and the course in general, suggesting that these methods may lead to a meaningful educational experience for women.Keywords
