Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction by Richard E Mayer

Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction by Richard E Mayer

During the past 30 years, researchers have made exciting progress in the science of learning (i.e., how people learn) and the science of instruction (i.e., how to help people learn). This second edition of the Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction is intended to provide an overview of these research advances.

"Two of the world's leading researchers in the area of cognitive processes and instructional design, Richard EMayer and Patricia A. Alexander, have combined the work of the major figures in our discipline in this edited collection. The result is a brilliant compilation of what we know about the learning sciences. It should be essential reading by all with a serious interest in this area. I expect it to be a critical source for years to come."

John Sweller, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology, School of Education, University of New South Wales, Australia

"This is an extremely informative handbook of the research and theory on learning and instruction. The coverage is superb, the writing organized and accessible. Scholars, teachers, and advanced students will find this volume indispensable. You will be reaching again and again for this resource."

Mark McDaniel, Co-Director of the Center for Integrative Research on Cognition, Learning, and Education (CIRCLE) and Professor, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Washington University, USA
