This comprehensive text takes a models approach by presenting separate chapters on individual theorists and perspectives. Within this well-organized structure, Gredler offers meticulouly accurate coverage of contemporary learning theories and their application to educational practice–including issues of readiness, motivation, problem-solving, and the social context for learning. Key content include increased emphases on the contributions of neuroscience and of Vygotsky’s work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good experience and product was as advertised

The book arrived in good condition and in the time frame as stated in the ad. The book was simple and easy to understand if you know the basics of cognition, learning, and instruction. Each chapter is like a book with summaries, main points, and references. It is only a 461 page book so it is straight and to the point without a lot of fluff. As with all text books however the price is ridiculously overpriced, but the going rate for educational textbooks.

Whenever taking a class check with the professor to see if an earlier edition can be substituted for the proscribed text. I saved over $100, in fact the extimate for rental was over $50. Through Amazon I purchased the 5th edition for under $10. Thanks Amazon.

This text was delivered as promised and it was in very good shape, so I was able to re-sell it after my class without a problem.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful Textbook
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2015

As someone who has a master's degree in education and a bachelors degree in Literature it is fair to say that I have read my share of text books over the years. With that being said, this is probably one of the worst textbooks I have ever been forced to read. The language is overcomplicated and very confusing. I cannot tell you how many times I would throw the book down in frustration and contempt. As someone mentioned above I often just ended up googling these theories so that I could actually complete my coursework. There is no need to write in this manner especially given the fact that this is supposed to help students learn about these theories. I've always been a believer in the idea that the best educators are able to take the most complex ideas and deliver them to students in their simplest form. Well this book almost seems to do the complete opposite. I would not recommend this book under any circumstances and if you are forced to rent/buy this for the class I am sorry.

It's a very informative textbook.However, not easy reading for me. Started using it recently for my teaching course. Maybe someone else would hopefully understand it better.
