This edition answers these questions: how do students learn?; are there different ways depending on what is to be learned?; is there one correct theory of learning?; is the computer a good model for learning?; and how does the recent interest in Vygotsky and constructivism add to our understanding of school learning? The book presents case studies to illustrate its theories, which should also facilitate active class discussions. The various perspectives on learning can be used by both pre-service and in-service teachers.

Walker, Decker F.

This popular text features a rigorous yet practical approach to the difficult dilemmas that so often arise in school administration. Using case studies to illustrate particular ethical issues, the authors cover such topics as: standards; assessment and evaluation; equal opportunity; multiculturalism; religious differences; due process; freedom of expression; personal liberty; and authority. Updated to address today's emphasis on meeting standards and raising test scores, the new Third Edition features new cases that discuss such current issues as zero tolerance policies and integrity in reporting data, and a revised chapter addressing the difficulty of focusing on standards while also dealing with competing demands, such as respecting the professional judgment of teachers, turning schools into learning communities, and engaging parents and members of the larger community in school life.

''A great little book packed with conceptual contrasts and rich classroom vignettes. The best resource I've found for teaching about theories of learning in a liberal arts college.'' -- Jack Dougherty, Trinity College, Hartford, CT ''A well-written and readable book. Phillips and Soltis should be commended for bringing together these various perspectives on learning that can be used by both pre-service and in-service teachers. The case studies presented help illustrate the theories and should facilitate active class discussions.'' -- The Professional Educator Rather than simply outlining the classical and modern theories of learning, this widely adopted text brings the material to life through case studies that engage students in debates about what really happens in classrooms. Students are encouraged to test the strengths and weaknesses of each theory so that, ultimately, they will learn to formulate their own philosophies of teaching and learning. The new Fifth Edition of Perspectives on Learning features: * A discussion of common sense and learning theories. * A new chapter on Transfer of Learning. * Consideration of recent developments in brain science. * A thoroughly updated list of Recommendations for Further Reading. Perspectives on Learning is one of the five books in the highly regarded Teachers College Press THINKING ABOUT EDUCATION SERIES, now in its Fifth Edition. All of the books in this series are designed to help pre- and in-service teachers bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Approaches To Teaching (Thinking About Education Series)

The authors give real-life expalantions and stories of why they got into teaching in the first place and offer advice to any current or aspiring teacher.The book gets into the realization that all students are different and that one job of a teacher (among many) is how to organize those students so that any differences among students are presented as what they really are, strengths and positives to be cultivated and promoted.
