Beyond an informational model of education

Many teaching-learning processes are directed at informational ends. That is to say, they are aimed at filling the mind with information. What you do with the information doesn't seem at all to matter - hence the theory-practice divide.

Some have talked about a more formative, or even transformative purpose in education. That would be the case when teaching-learning processes used form sustained habits and dispositions or have a very powerful transformational effect on your life.

In Christian education, merely aiming at educating for informing falls short of its purpose. While many such transformative and formative processes must take place outside the classroom, how can one help to design teachng-learning processes which foster formational/transformational outcomes?
