Academic Success: Applying Learning Theory in the Classroom

By Marie Menna Pagliaro

Book Overview

Beginning with guiding teachers in establishing a positive and supportive learning environment for student achievement, Academic Success then presents a review of behavioral, constructivist, and cognitive learning theories. These theories are reflected within the four main categories with which teachers must constantly deal, these being motivation; goals/objectives and feedback; delivering original learning; and reinforcement. Academic Success provides numerous examples of classroom applications that show how the theories can be implemented. This book also offers a case study that demonstrates how with one teacher's initiative, learning theories were applied to actively involve students within a school, school district, and beyond.
