Learning and Instruction (2nd Edition)
How do people learn? How can instruction promote learning?  This new book by a noted scholar thoroughly and succinctly answers these two fundamental educational psychology questions. The author focuses on the “big” ideas, preferring that readers understand a few exemplary ideas deeply, rather than numerous ideas superficially. The book uses clear definitions, concrete examples, and a conversational writing style that easily engages readers by addressing them directly.  Coverage is organized around two “sides” of the educational “coin:” learning in subject areas and instructional methods that foster meaningful learning; and explaining what research says about the learning/teaching process.  For professionals in the field of Education Psychology.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
