Reviews:

• Educators who see this book may well ask, "Where was this when I was in school?" Leonard defines more than 500 terms and identifies the major area of learning theory under which each term falls: behavorism, cognitivism, constructivism, humanism, organizational learning, or educational technology....Another reference work of high quality from Oryx, this would be a useful addition to any education or psychology reference collection. Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and higher.

• For college students and practitioners struggling to distinguish schema from schemata or learning objects from learning objectives, this guide is the perfect answer.
