About this film

This program deals with the kind of learning that involves language and symbols, the kind of learning that results in understanding, knowledge and wisdom. In dealing with intellectual learning, Dr. Adler shows that man learns in two ways, by instruction and by discovery. He stresses the need for activity in learning and the role of motivation in the learning process. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
