For Learning Theory/Cognition and Instruction, Advanced Educational Psychology, and Introductory Educational Psychology courses.



An essential resource for understanding the main principles, concepts, and research findings of key learning theories –especially as they relate to education–this proven text blends theory, research, and applications throughout, providing its readers with a coherent and unified perspective on learning in educational settings.

Features + Benefits
This text’s main objectives are to inform students about the main principles, concepts, and research findings of key theories of learning, especially as they relate to education, and to provide applications of principles and concepts in settings where teaching and learning occur. Although the text places primary emphasis on cognitive theories that stress learners’ constructions of beliefs, skills, strategies, and knowledge, behavioral theories also are discussed.

An introductory chapter introduces learning, discusses key learning issues and ways to assess learning, explains the relation of learning and instruction, and describes some historical antecedents of contemporary learning theories. A second chapter follows which discusses the neuroscience of learning. The next four chapters present theories of learning: behaviorism, social cognitive theory, information processing theory, and constructivism. The last four chapters in the text cover key topics related to learning: cognitive learning processes, motivation, self-regulation, and development.

By blending theory, research, and applications throughout, this text provides instructors and students with a coherent and unified perspective on learning in educational settings.

Features a chapter on the Neuroscience of Learning (Chapter 2) so students can better understand the basics of brain operation and the roles of brain structures in learning.

A chapter on Constructivism (Chapter 6) helps students to understand key constructivist principles, especially those relevant to Vygotsky’s theory, and how to foster constructivist learning environments.

The chapter on Motivation (Chapter 8) explains how motivational processes influence teaching and learning and how educators can develop motivated learners.

A chapter on Development (Chapter 10) teaches about the developmental processes critical for learning and successful ways to foster learning in students at different developmental levels.

The chapter on Cognitive Learning Processes (Chapter 7) aids students’ understanding of the key roles played by metacognition, concept learning, problem-solving, transfer, and technology in teaching and learning. Table of Contents
