Von der hinteren Coverseite

This new fifth edition of Learning and Teaching: Research-Based Methods represents one of the most up-to-date, research-based methods texts available today. The text has two specific goals: to change how teachers think about teaching and to change how they actually teach. Solidly grounded in research, Learning and Teaching describes practical methods in a clear, readable manner with numerous case examples and offers suggestions for applying those methods in today s diverse school environments. Kauchak and Eggen organize their discussion around three important themes in education diversity, motivation, and technology.
