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.

  • Enhanced critical perspectives offering a deeper examination of each theory′s strengths and weaknesses
