Containing bitesized overviews of over 100 classic and contemporary learning theorists, this book is written for busy teachers, trainers, managers or learners who are interested in understanding different theories of learning and how they can be intelligently and practically applied to educational contexts. It describes each theory and model in an accessible bitesized form and explores how it can be used to benefit teaching, including key suggestions for the classroom. This book will: * Help you to understand how people learn and your role in the process * Develop your skills as a teacher or trainer * Enable you to be able to apply theory to practice * Encourage you and your learners to have a commitment to personal growth and change * Support you to manage key aspects of programme design and delivery
This book delivers exactly what it promises. It is an accessible guide which accompanies the reader through a range of complex concepts. Each theory is clearly explained, critically analysed and supported by anecdotes which bring the abstract to life. In addition there is direct application as to how these ideas can influence on a wider scale in the classroom, the staffroom and on senior management in education. Finally, if appetite is whetted, there is signposting to further reading. -- Janet Selby
