Have a beverage close by! This book is required for one of my classes. It is dry. The print is too small, there is so much content that it is a ton of tedious reading. The notes at the ends of the chapters are good though.. you can get most of what you need to know from them. After the first several chapters, I found that I could read the 2 review sections at the end of each chapter and go read the chapter content for anything I didn't understand. If you need a lot of protracted explanation on topics, then this book may suit your needs well. I found my self thinking, "enough already"! Yawn!! | ||
Review of Learning and Instruction Book This book is a collection of information about learning including classical and operant conditioning, information processing theory, Piagetian theory, cognitive development, motivation, and social learning theory. It not only discusses the theory but gives you practical applications for leading a classroom. While there is more emphasis on teaching children, there is a good amount about adult learning as well. It is well written in understandable English. In short, it's a book worth reading! | ||
