They predate the debate on formal/informal learning, so relate mainly to the design of formal training interventions. Anyway, the issues that interest me are: (1) can they be validated by research?

At first he says he was a horrible teacher who often lost control of his classes. One day he asked the kids what was wrong with his teaching style.
