Abstract

For courses in Advanced Educational Psychology, Learning Theory and Cognition and Instruction.

The market-leading education textbook on learning theories, Human Learning, Sixth Edition, covers a broad range of concepts and is supported by the author’s lucid and engaging writing style, which helps readers learn the book’s content meaningfully.

In this new sixth edition, readers will find significant updates to reflect the most current research in the field, including: expansion of the chapter on cognition and memory; re-organization of content on Piaget and Vygotsky into two separate chapters; a core section on teaching critical-thinking skills; and the significantly revised discussion of technology-based instructed. Instructors and students alike can feel confident in learning about learning with this influential and best-selling author. Over the years, Jeanne E. Ormrod has received many unsolicited e-mail messages from students who tell her how much they’ve enjoyed and appreciated previous editions of Human Learning.
