CONTEMPORARY THEORIES OF LEARNING

This tenth anniversary edition of Knud Illeris’s classic 2008 text is an updated and definitive collection of today’s most influential learning theorists, now containing additional chapters from John Hattie and Gregory Donoghue, Sharan Merriam, Gert Biesta, and Carolyn Jackson. The book brings together world‑renowned experts, each presenting their understanding of what learning is and how human learning takes place, addressing the social, psychological, and emotional contexts of learning.

In this clear and coherent overview, Professor Knud Illeris has collated chapters that explain both the complex frameworks in which learning occurs and the specific facets of learning. Each international expert provides either a seminal text or an entirely new précis of the conceptual framework they have developed over a lifetime of study, such as adult learning theory, learning strategies, and the cultural and social nature of learning processes. Elucidating the key concepts of learning, *Contemporary Theories of Learning* offers both the perfect desk reference and an ideal introduction for students; it is an invaluable resource for researchers and academics involved in the study of learning, providing a detailed synthesis of current learning theories—all in the words of the theorists themselves.
