A comprehensive look at the key theoretical principles, concepts, and research findings about learning, with special attention paid to how these concepts and principles can be applied in today's classrooms. This widely used and respected resource introduces readers to the key theoretical principles, concepts, and research findings about learning and helps them see how to apply that theory and research as educators. Learning Theories begins with a discussion of the relationship between learning theory and instruction. It then looks at the neuroscience of learning. Six chapters cover the major theories of learning - behaviorism, social cognitive theory, information processing theory, cognitive learning processes, and constructivism. The following three chapters cover key topics related to learning - motivation, self-regulated learning, and contextual influences. And the final chapter, Next Steps, helps students consolidate their views about learning. The 8th Edition has been significantly updated with a number of new features and the most current thinking and research.

Dr. Schunk is an amazing psychologist and researcher. Many of the studies cited in the textbook include his own work. The book is very good for a general overview of educational psychology. However, many of the major theories are addressed too concisely, leaving the educational psychology student to research and investigate further to find additional information in which to complete any sort of class case studies.
Chapters are well organized (with the exception of Chapter 4, which needs total restructuring), with informative introductions and summaries. The chapters also include a variety of charts and graphs to enhance the psychology student's understanding. The "Applications" of theory and content could use some work with more direct usage highlighted for the student. A number of times our discussion team could not fully recognize why a certain scenario was used for application.
The book is excellent to use in a college-level class. Schunk's style of writing is easy to follow and does motivate the reader to continue learning, which is what it's all about.
