Essentials of Learning for Instruction

This is a book about human learning, intended to be useful to teachers and prospective teachers. The contents of this book will provide a framework that can serve well in organizing thought and the accumulation of knowledge about teaching. Learning is described in terms of the information processing model of learning and memory. This model posits a number of internal processes that are subject to the influence of external events. The book should find its greatest usefulness in undergraduate courses in educational psychology and as an adjunct to graduate offerings in this subject. It might also be used as a supplementary text in courses in human learning, instructional methods, instructional design, and educational technology as well for the continuing education of teachers.
