Learning Theory and Classroom Practice in the Lifelong Learning Sector

Second Edition
  • Jim Gould - Farnborough College of Technology


October 2012 | 176 pages | Learning Matters
This book supports all trainee teachers in the Lifelong Learning Sector working towards QTLS in their understanding of the key learning theories and how these can be applied to their teaching. Existing teachers within the sector will also find this book a valuable resource for refreshing their knowledge and continuing their professional development.

Each learning theory is explored in clear and accessible language, considering the implications for planning, teaching, assessment and classroom management. Readers are encouraged to think critically about learning theories and the implications for classroom practice. Points for reflection, teaching and learning activities, and useful summaries are included throughout. This new edition has been fully revised to include a wider range of learning theories as well as annotated further reading and a glossary of useful terms.

A good choice for the mandatory City and Guilds DTLLS unit however with current changes being implemented in September 2013 this may need revising.

Well laid out and straight forward information. Will definitely recommend this book to our learners.

A useful source of additional material for learners working at Level 4, with recommendations for further reading. Learners working at Level 3 find the theories are explained in too complicated a fashion.
