Three-Dimensional Teaching and Learning

I was recently reading the September/October 2021 issue of "Science & Children" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section "Editor's Note" written by Elizabeth Barrett-Zahn. Elizabeth wrote an article entitled "Three-Dimensional Teaching and Learning." One of the most important starting points when implementing three-dimensional teaching and learning is the placement of students within the learning environment. Are students the drivers of the learning, or are they passive recipients of a well-crafted lesson focusing on content and practice?
