Although researchers have made considerable progress in understanding the cognitive and social variables that mediate in the learning process, very little of this basic knowledge has been translated into practice, many research questions that are critically important for directing educational reform remain unanswered, and few in the scientific community have been actively involved in the efforts to reform higher education. This edited volume is among many recent attempts to build on empirically-validated learning activities to enhance what and how much is learned and how well and how long it is remembered. Thus, the movement for a real \"Science of Learning\" has taken hold-the application of scientific principles to the study of learning-both under the controlled conditions of the laboratory and in the messy real-world settings where most of us go about the business of learning. This is the 89th issue of the quarterly Jossey-Bass publication New Directions for Teaching and Learning.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361401114897,"sku":"CIN0787957917G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0787957917.jpg?v=1751075679"},{"product_id":"techniques-and-strategies-for-interpreting-student-evaluations-book-karron-g-lewis-9780787957896","title":"Techniques and Strategies for Interpreting Student Evaluations","description":"This title examines the critical subject of student evaluations of teaching, furnishing both the research base behind the use of student ratings and practical suggestions for interpreting the data they provide. It focuses on all phases of the student rating process - from data gathering methods to presentation of results. Topics include methods of encouraging meaningful evaluations, mid semester feedback, uses of quality teams and focus groups, and creating questions that target individual faculty needs and interest. With a humorous look at the popular myths surrounding student evaluations and emerging research on what is known concerning student evaluations and their use, this volume argues that the evaluation of teaching is a learning process in itself. This is the 87th issue of the Jossey-Bass series \"New Directions for Teaching and Learning.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50365343990033,"sku":"CIN0787957895A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0787957895.jpg?v=1750703186"},{"product_id":"spirituality-in-higher-education-book-sherry-l-hoppe-9780787983635","title":"Spirituality in Higher Education","description":"This issue looks at spirituality in higher education through a number of lenses, examining what many view as trend towards incorporating spirituality back into the lives of students, faculty, and administrators. Questions about meaning and purpose are as old as humans, and in the earliest days of higher education, the search for truth was the ultimate journey of the student. Over the decades, though, the academy has often shunned the spiritual aspect of a student's education. Whether that is to avoid controversy or to protect from acknowledging that all is not known, there is a predisposition to avoid talking about spirituality in the academy. Regardless, the result is the creation of what T.S. Eliot called 'hallow men' who live in this world but do not know why they are here and thus do not know how to live their lives. This book is responding to a reawakening of desire to avoid such creatures. The issue's purpose, at least in a cursory way, is to look at spirituality in academe through a number of lenses. Composed of chapters from both faculty and administrators, this volume offers insight into the critical need for spirituality in educating the whole student while recognizing that how spirituality is viewed and taught (and experienced) is intensely personal. The goal is not to prescribe how spirituality should be integrated but to offer multiple options and perspectives. Not only will readers learn about the complex and vital role of spirituality, they will also be reminded that the quest for truth and meaning, not the destination, is what is vitally important in shaping discussions about spirituality. This is the 104th issue of the Josses-Bass quarterly support series, \"New Directions for Teaching and Learning\".","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51323722498321,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51323725086993,"sku":"CIN0787983632VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0787983632.jpg?v=1751232985"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/new-directions-for-teaching-and-learning-s-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
