How We Learn: A Christian Teacher's Guide to Educational Psychology

by Klaus Issler, Ronald Habermas (Contributor)

No one fully understands how learning works, but educational psychologists understand a great deal about what works. The collaborative team of Klaus Issler and Ronald Habermas has assembled an integration of theology and instructional theory in Teaching for Foundations and Practice of Christian Educational Ministry. Now they expound on one aspect of educational theory/theology to help teachers choose the method that best reaches particular learners in a specific learning situation. How We Learn demystifies the principles of educational psychology. The book --means and barriers in learning- --motivational factors that make learners receptive --learning's outcome in attitudes, spirituality, and behavior Application sections, special exercises and examples, plus dozens of figures and tables aid understanding of learning effectiveness, age-related development, individual learning style, special education, and other issues.

[Rachel Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book took me a while to work through, and while it wasn’t the most enjoyable read, the amount of sticky notes I left behind tell a story of approval.
This book is a scientific treatise on learning, developmental stages, and educational psychology from a Christian perspective and I really appreciated what it had to say.
