Sharon Silverman and Martha Casazza reveal how diverse developmental needs--such as lack of self-esteem or cultural alienation--can be at the root of a student's learning difficulties. They draw from the latest theory and research to explore the critical connection between learning and development in six key areas: (1) self and identity; (2) motivation; (3) interaction with the environment; (4) ways of knowing; (5) learning styles and preferences; and (6) self-regulation and goal setting. The authors also present six case studies to show how educators can assess and resolve learning problems while enriching and advancing their own teaching expertise. Written in clear, nontechnical language, Learning and Development provides useful, systematic approaches for making connections between teaching and learning.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eUNDERSTANDING LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Today's Learners.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Theories of Personal Development and Learning.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Theories Related to Cognitive Development and Learning.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A Framework for Effective Practice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e APPLYING RESEARCH TO TEACHING.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Self and Identity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Motivation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Interaction with the Environment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ways of Knowing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Learning Styles and Preferences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Self-Regulation and Goal Setting.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e NEW TEACHING PERSPECTIVES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Critical Reflection on Practice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Educator as Innovator, Researcher, and Change Agent.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Education [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Education\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Education%20%5BJN%5D%22\"\u003eJN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52410650427672,"sku":"9780787944636","price":30.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780787944636.jpg?v=1784246598","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/learning-and-development-making-connections-to-enhance-teaching-hardback-9780787944636","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
