Learning Theories (Hardcover)

Through its succinct yet thorough overviews of current behavioral, cognitive and developmental theories, this book explores the many ways in which learning principles can be applied in a variety of educational settings, with a diverse population of learners. It features down-to-earth language, clear explanations, and specific examples of abstract concepts. The author examines the relationship between learning and other topics of importance to educators-development, motivation, instruction, and self-regulation. A detailed glossary of more than 300 technical terms facilitates understanding, and a bibliography with more than 1, 100 references encourages self-study. For future and in-service teachers with a minimal psychology background. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
