The Process of Learning

A comprehensive textbook for general introductory courses in Educational Psychology for both preservice teacher training (Dip. Teach., B. Ed., Dip. Ed.) and inservice teacher education courses. The book is research based with references to over 600 studies, but this material is organized to support the discussion of the core topic of each chapter. Chapters are divided in Sections A and B. In Section A the general theory underlying the topic is explored; Section B then discusses the topic in terms of practical classroom experience, the local variations in the Australian scene, and the particular issues and controversies in recent Australian educational practice.
