How We Learn

No one fully understands how learning works, but educational psychologists understand a great deal about what works.

The collaborative team of Klaus Issler and Ronald Habermas has assembled an integration of theology and instructional theory in Teaching for Reconciliation: Foundations and Practice of Christian Educational Ministry. Now they expound on one aspect of educational theory/theology to help teachers choose the method that best reaches particular learners in a specific learning situation.

How We Learn demystifies the principles of educational psychology. The book identifies:
--means and barriers in learning
--motivational factors that make learners receptive
--learning's outcome in attitudes, spirituality, and behavior

Application sections, special exercises and examples, plus dozens of figures and tables aid understanding of learning effectiveness, age-related development, individual learning style, special education, and other issues.
