Written for busy teachers, students, trainers, managers and , this 'dip-in, dip-out' guide makes theories of learning accessible and practical. It explores 134 classic and contemporary learning theorists in an easy-to-use, bite-sized format with clear relevant illustrations on how each theory will benefit teaching and learning. Each model or theory is explained in less than 350 words, followed by a 'how to use it' section. New to this third edition: New section on cognitive learning theory, including Arthur Shimamura, Alison Gopnik, John Flavell and more; Enhanced critical perspectives offering a deeper examination of each theory's strengths and weaknesses; [and] A new entry on Gloria Ladson-Billings and Critical Race Theory in education." --
