The aim of this handbook is to present an overview of the work on learning, written by leading scholars from all these different perspectives and disciplines.

As our understanding of learning focuses on the whole person rather than individual aspects of learning, so the process of learning is beginning to be studied from a wide variety of perspectives and disciplines. This handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the contemporary research into learning: it brings together a diverse range of specialities with chapters written by leading scholars throughout the world from a wide variety of different approaches. The International Handbook of Learning captures the complexities of the learning process in seven major parts. Its 54 chapters are sub-divided in seven parts:

Learning and the person: senses, cognitions, emotions, personality traits and learning styles

Learning across the lifespan

Life-wide learning

Learning across the disciplines: covering everything from anthropology to neuroscience

Meaning systems’ interpretation

Learning and disability

Historical and contemporary learning theorists.

Written by international experts, this book is the first comprehensive multi-disciplinary analysis of learning, packing a diverse collection of research into one accessible volume.

Peter Jarvis is Professor of Continuing Education at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK. Mary Watts is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at City University, London, UK.
