Learning and Teaching Psychology

Teachers make an enormous difference in classrooms, and this book¿LEARNING AND TEACHING PSYCHOLOGY¿ is designed to help you become a better teacher. The knowledge base for teaching continues to expand, confirming the powerful influence that teachers have on students and the importance of knowledge for effective teaching. Research also continues to highlight the central role teacher¿s play in determining the quality of learning in classrooms. Teachers do make a difference in how much students learn, and this difference depends on how they teach. This book introduces you to the learning theories as applied in delivery of classroom instructions. It seeks to enable you apply different learning theories in schools and classroom settings, by discussing the evolution and implication of the learning theory through classical, behavioural to constructivist eras. Thereafter, the different models of teaching are discussed in light of different contexts of learning.
