Description: Learning Theories : An Educational Perspective by Dale H. Schunk VGC ***ACTUAL BOOK BEING PURCHASED IS ONE IN PHOTOS****** About this productProduct InformationWritten to inform students of 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, this revised text blends theory, research, and applications throughout, providing its readers with a coherent and unified perspective on learning in educational settings. The primary emphasis is placed on cognitive theories that stress learners' constructions of beliefs, skills, strategies, and knowledge, but behavioral theories are also discussed in detail. Chapters have numerous applications of learning principles to applied settings including vignettes at the start of each chapter illustrating some of the principles discussed in the chapter, examples and applications throughout the chapters, and separate sections on instructional applications at the end of each chapter. Key features of this revised text include: a new chapter on Self-Regulation (Chapter 9); core chapters on the neuroscience of learning (Chapter 2), constructivism (Chapter 6), cognitive learning processes (Chapter 7), motivation (Chapter 8), and development (Chapter 10) all related to teaching and learning; updated sections on learning from technology and electronic media and how these advancements effectively promote learning in students (Chapters 7 & 10); detailed information on content-area learning and models of instruction to form coherence and connection between teaching and learning in different content areas, learning principles, and processes (Chapters 2-10); and over 140 new references on the latest theoretical ideas, research findings, and applications in the field. An essential resource for understanding key learning theoretical principles, concepts, and research findings-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.Product IdentifiersPublisherAddison-WesleyISBN-100137071957ISBN-139780137071951eBay Product ID (ePID)960091Product Key FeaturesLanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight36.7 OzWidth7.6in.Height1.4in.Length9.2in.Additional Product FeaturesFormatTrade ClothDewey Edition22Table of ContentTable of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction to the Study of Learning Learning Defined Precursors of Modern Learning Theories Learning theory and philosophy Beginnings of the psychological study of learning Structuralism and functionalism Learning Theory and Research Functions of theory Conducting research Assessment of Learning Direct observations Written responses Oral responses Ratings by others Self-reports Relation of Learning and Instruction Historical perspective Instructional commonalities Integration of theory and practice Critical Issues for Learning Theories How does learning occur?
