Synopsis

This edition answers these questions: how do students learn?; are there different ways depending on what is to be learned?; is there one correct theory of learning?; is the computer a good model for learning?; and how does the recent interest in Vygotsky and constructivism add to our understanding of school learning? The book presents case studies to illustrate its theories, which should also facilitate active class discussions. The various perspectives on learning can be used by both pre-service and in-service teachers.

“A well-written and readable book. Phillips and Soltis should be commended for bringing together these various perspectives on learning that can be used by both pre-service and in-service teachers.
