Riassunto:

Reviews of 1st Edition:

"This powerful book makes many of its points through the use of case studies and examples... ....Rarely, if ever, has discussion of so wide a variety of approaches to learning been gathered together in a single volume." - British Journal of Educational Technology

This comprehensive, accessible and successful text has been revised and updated to meet the needs of teachers, advisers, inspectors, teacher educators and educational researchers at the beginning of the 21st century.

Key features include:

* A range of teaching models offering a wide repertoire of strategies for teachers

* A wealth of practical examples backed up by relevant research evidence and clear guidelines for implementation

* A clear, engaging and accessible writing style

* A completely new chapter on learning to read and write with the Picture Word Inductive Model

The purpose of this book is to introduce some of the array of models of teaching that have been developed, polished and studied over the last thirty years. Some of these models have been shown both to accelerate rates of learning and also to bring within reach of pupils types of conceptual control and modes of inquiry which have been almost impossible to generate through traditional chalk and talk teaching. Rather than being formulas to be followed slavishly, each model brings teachers into the study of how students learn thereby promoting reflective action research in the classroom.

Recensione:

“...provides a great deal of information, and insight, for practitioners; and includes ‘coaching guides’ for teachers who wish to undertake peer observation of the various ideas covered in the book...a valuable addition to any library and a book that...will appeal to many practitioners.” – LTSN: Escalate (LTSN 2003-10-28)

"...flows smoothly and is easy to read. The reader is stimulated to consider how learning is taking place, with a view to making use of these insights in future work. ...the whole book offers lots of food for thought to all concerned with education-not just teachers, but administrators, managers, even parents." - Cynthia Deeson (Brit Jnl of Educational Technology 2003-03-01)
