"How do Professors prepare individuals to successfully retain knowledge?  Has Higher Education focused on improving college teaching? Are these practices performed by the professors merely becoming a product of privatization? Can graduating students be the answer to a successful change?"

  1. These sources are not so bad, but keep looking, I am sure you will find even more vital stuff. There is a lot coming out along these lines. One older model that attracted a lot of attention at the time was Just in Time Teaching. The idea of "Flipping the Classroom" is a more recent example. There is lots of good research out there. Look into the Jolt website -- they may even have references there.
