- Review of Learning and Instruction BookThis book is a collection of information about learning including classical and operant conditioning, information processing theory, Piagetian theory, cognitive development, motivation, and social learning theory. It not only discusses the theory but gives you practical applications for leading a classroom. While there is more emphasis on teaching children, there is a good amount about adult learning as well. It is well written in understandable English. In short, it's a book worth reading!
