Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theorising Learning to Teach in Higher Education provides both lecturers embarking on a career in higher education and established members of staff with the capacity to improve their teaching. The process of learning to teach, and the associated field of professional academic development for teaching, is absolutely central to higher education. Offering innovative alternatives to some of the dominant work on teaching theory, this volume explores three significant approaches in detail: critical and social realist, social practice and sociomaterial approaches, which are divided into four sections: Sociomaterialism Practice theories Critical and social realism Crossover perspectives. Readers will benefit from discussions on the role and place of theory in the process of learning to teach, whilst international case studies demonstrate the kinds of insights and recommendations that could emanate from the three approaches examined, drawing together contributions from Europe, Africa and Australasia. Both challenging and enlightening, this book argues the need for theory in order to advance scholarship in the field and achieve goals related to social justice in higher education systems across the world. It draws attention to newly emerging theoretical perspectives and relatively underused perspectives to demonstrate the need for theory in relation to learning to teach. This book will appeal to academics interested in how they come to learn to teach, to administrators and academic developers responsible for professional development strategies at universities and masters and PhD level students researching professional development in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful collection offers a timely contribution to the body of research on practical theorising in teacher education. Acknowledging the importance of experience and reflective practice in teaching, this book simultaneously embraces the essential need for teachers at all career stages to engage effectively and critically with evidence from research. Drawing together a range of perspectives from university-based and school-based teacher educators, this book examines the challenges and critiques advanced when practical theorising was first proposed, as well as recent tensions created by the performative culture that now pervades education. It illustrates the constant renegotiation and renewal necessary to sustain such an approach to beginners’ learning, investigating a range of tools developed by teacher educators to help beginning teachers navigate these demands. Demonstrating the value of practical theorising and therefore promoting powerful professional learning for practitioners, this book is essential for teachers at all career stages, including trainee teachers and student teachers.

This book illustrates how theory and methods inform one another, facilitating advancements in the field, while addressing the ways in which societal and technological change create a need for adapting approaches to examining learning. Drawing on an international team of contributors, this book comprises 17 chapters and three commentaries, thematically organised into three broad sections: emerging theories and conceptualisations of learning and how they drive methodological development new methods or innovative use of existing methods and their contribution to theory development theories and methods that emerge in connection with societal changes Both novice researchers and more experienced scholars will benefit from an overview of recent theoretical and methodological advances in the learning research field. This is an invaluable resource for researchers in the learning and educational research field and will also support Masters and PhD students to understand how learning theories and research methodology in the field have been evolving in recent years.

Book excerpt: The theories herewith are the most commonly discussed in educational psychology textbooks, and are studied by most students in schools of education. The theories discussed in this book, are applicable in real setting of higher education, through a process of experimentation and practice. The three main classifications of learning theories are, behaviorism, cognitivist, and constructivism. Al of which, provides a rubric and guideline for educators that help in the process of selecting teaching methodology, techniques, approaches, strategies and tools. Moreover, only through practice, an educator can develop a best practice that best fit the teacher student’s relationship according to culture, capacity of the learner, learning styles and many other constraints and resources to be taken into consideration. This book highlight the fact that certain theories and learning styles tend to be particularly important in international learning setting, whereby students are culturally diverse, and particularly if they are of “High Context Societies”, as explained in this book.
