This is one of the greatest management questions today and it will only become more acute as the role of knowledge and innovation continue to grow.

It is important for a student to learn the material as a professional (the teacher) sees it. This gives the student guidance and an overall grasp of what is to be learned. Independent learning is also extremely important because it gives students a feeling of independence and pride in their work. Many students work harder at something that they are "in charge" of. This different area of "thinking and exploring to learn" can be much more beneficial than "listening to learn," although I believe a mix of the two benefit students the most.

Perhaps simply calling one end "instruction" and the other end "independent learning" describes the contexts in a broad sense without carrying much baggage. There is a time and place for each.
