I'm not sure 'disjuncture' is the best word for the contradictions being described by Glenda Morgan in this article on the differences between what teachers think they are delivering and what students think they are receiving. But the point is still valid. For example, "When asked whether they were incorporating real-world projects into their courses, between 58% and 73% of faculty said they were, depending on whether workforce readiness was a high priority for them. Yet only 26% of students reported completing a real-world project in a course." Considering the difference in employment between those who did, and did not, receive workplace experience, you can see ho important this is.
