Abstract
Unconventional ideas (e.g., philosophical, theoretical, political, etc.) are discussed which lead to the realization that new and different programmatic alternatives are needed by institutions of higher learning if they are to train competent teachers in the future. The relationships between learning disabilities, CBTE programs, and hierarchical theories of human development are explored and preliminary suggestions are offered in the hope of producing alternative conceptualizations of the learning act.
