To be a successful teacher, or student of education, it is crucial to acknowledge the learning process. This book explains major learning theories, how they have developed, what beliefs and evidence they have been based upon and what they mean for teachers′ practice. Key areas considered include:
How different theories, including behaviourism, constructivism, cognitivism and social culturalism, offer alternate perspectives about learning;
Detailed case studies, in a range of school contexts, show how theoretical considerations play out in real situations;
How a deeper understanding of learning theory can enhance your professional teacher knowledge and practice.
The book also includes a range of practical tasks and questions for consideration to encourage deeper reflection about teaching and learning processes.
This is essential reading for anyone training to teach in primary and secondary education, Education Studies students, and teachers seeking to refresh their knowledge and understanding of different perspectives of learning.
