Human Learning: International Edition

Autor Jeanne Ellis Ormrod
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 aug 2008
Human Learning, fifth edition, is the leading text on learning theories applied to education.  It covers a broad range of learning theories, including behaviorist, social cognitive, cognitive, and developmental.  Complex learning and cognition, including metacognition, transfer, and social processes in knowledge construction are also covered, as is motivation.  Coverage demonstrates, through the author's extremely lucid and engaging prose, how different concepts relate to one another.  The book provides dozens of proven examples, and emphasizes meaningful learning that makes the fundamentals of these theories comprehensible to students with little or no prior coursework in psychology.  Key revisions to this book include a thoroughly updated section on behaviorism, a new, separate chapter on the developmental theories of Piaget and Vygotsky, and a reorganized motivation section.

Caracteristici

  • New!  Restructured Organization–The text has been reduced from 18 to 16 chapters to more comfortably fit within the confines of a typical college semester.
  • New!  Significant Updates to Part 2: Behaviorist Views Of LearningThe coverage of behaviorism has been streamlined and now includes information on punishment as well as on reinforcement.
  • New!  Developmental Perspectives on Cognition, Chapter 11–Presents material on Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s developmental theories as well as those of the neo-Piagetians
  • New!  New Research Findings and Topics–Including: how human learning differs from nonhuman animal learning (Chapter 1), the use of high-stakes tests to assess achievement of instructional objectives (Chapter 5), self-efficacy for learning versus self-efficacy for performance (Chapter 6), worldviews (Chapter 9), cultural differences in epistemological beliefs (Chapter 12), problem-based learning (Chapter 13), stereotype threat (Chapter 15), and proximal goals (Chapter 16). 
  • Learning and the Brain, Chapter 2 — Includes material on the anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system, brain development, and contemporary brain research. Ensures students understand the educational implications of the latest research—debunks several common myths that students, and others, hold about the brain's functions.
  • Social Processes in Knowledge Construction, Chapter 14–Explores the social nature of learning, reciprocal teaching, peer tutoring, interaction with technology, and more. Guides readers through the basics of "socializing"—provides exceptionally clear treatment of this often-challenging topic.
  • Numerous Exercises and Examples—Interspersed throughout the text. Engage students in relating text concepts to constructed knowledge based on their experiences—illustrates how an educator's personal knowledge base can inform his or her teaching. 
  • Applications for Instructional Settings—In every chapter. Prepares students to transfer their learning from the academic setting to the professional world—helps prospective teachers gain confidence in their ability to meet the needs of students.
