Full Description
"Profound and useful, readers will benefit from the systematic treatment of learning through superb scholarship. Cultural-philosophical-curricular-pedagogical-historical perspectives on learning, curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment, and learners make this collection unique." - Carol A.

Learning is a fundamental topic in education. Combining traditional views of learning and learning theory with sociocultural and historical perspectives, this Handbook brings together original contributions from respected researchers who are leading figures in the field.
The editors provide a insightful introduction to the topic, and the theories, frameworks, themes and issues discussed in the individual chapters are central to each and every learning episode.
The Handbook is organized into four sections, each beginning with a short introduction:
Philosophical, Sociological and Psychological Theories of Learning
Models of Learning
Learning, Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment
Learning Dispositions, Life-Long Learning and Learning Environments
