Theories of Learning
SAGE Library of Educational Thought & Practice
Edited by David Scott Institute of Education
Four-Volume Set
In recent years, research into learning has become increasingly important as a significant academic pursuit. Bringing together a wide range of articles, written by internationally renowned scholars, this four-volume collection provides an overview of the many theories of learning, from Aristotle to Jean-Jacques Rousseau to Michel Foucault. Editor David Scott, in an extensive introduction, presents a comprehensive account of the subject, which ranges from philosophical, sociological and psychological perspectives on learning and models of learning, to those important relations between learning, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, and finally concludes with ideas and themes related to learning dispositions, life-long learning and learning environments. The whole work consists of 80 articles (including the introduction) organized into four volumes: Volume One: Philosophical, Sociological and Psychological Theories of Learning Volume Two: Models of Learning Volume Three: Learning, Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment Volume Four: Learning Dispositions, Lifelong Learning and Learning Environments
