Reviews
[The] book is a fine foundation for a Psychology of Learning course. It provides a solid coverage of theories and issues that I can depend on to insure that students understand the basics... I find the writing style to be quite clear, interesting, and engaging. The level is appropriate for my students (graduate students)... The Instructional Applications foster personal appropriation of theoretical content of each chapter. - Jim May, Oklahoma State University The text does an excellent job covering motivation and self-regulated learning. - Kerry Rice, Boise State University [T]he book is very accessible... The clear connections to instructional applications [are a key strength]. - Melissa Stormont, University of Missouri
