On the whole, this evidence suggests that capturing students' attention, fostering deep learning, and minimizing cognitive load leads to improved engagement, and ultimately better educational outcomes.

Perhaps the training may have shifted the teachers' focus from pure skill training to a more holistic teaching approach fostering deep learning.
The teaching challenge, however, is to foster deep-level learning and understanding of the field according to Bloom's taxonomy (Krathwohl, 2002), that moves past the mere recall and comprehension of theory, and towards application of theory and analysis of problems in businesses.
