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.

Description: Swift changes in educational technology are transforming the landscape of our society and how we transfer knowledge in a digital world. Teachers, administrators, and education students need to stay abreast of these developments. Yet while the new educational software, technologies, and networks may be available, the learning theories and methods required to take complete advantage of the tools are often neglected. Learning theories are a crucial element of education studies for anyone involved with students from pre-school to higher education and business training. This book is a substantive dictionary of over 500 terms relating to learning theories and environments. Definitions range from approximately 100 to 700 words, and each term is identified by the primary type of learning theory to which it applies: cognitivism, constructivism, behaviorism, humanism, or organizational learning. An annotated bibliography provides further resources to the most important writings about learning theories.
