{"product_id":"theories-of-learning-and-studies-timothy-koschmann-9781441975812","title":"Theories of Learning and Studies of Instructional Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a book about an attempt to change the way math was taught in a particular classroom. Its title plays on our everyday usage of the terms \u003cem\u003etheory \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003epractice\u003c\/em\u003e. In education, these terms are conventionally treated oppositionally--we have theories about what we \u003cem\u003eshould \u003c\/em\u003edo and we have what teachers actually \u003cem\u003edo \u003c\/em\u003edo. In this way, theory stands prior, logically and chronologically, to practice; practice inevitably becoming theory's imperfect realization. We seek in this volume, however, to develop a different stance with regard to the relationship between the two. Taking the details of instructional practice as our principle object of study, we explore what role theories of learning might play in illuminating such practices. The book is about actual practices by which teaching is done and how contemporary theories of learning might help us understand those practices. It seeks to provide a foundation for future practice-based inquiry in education, by addressing the methodological question: How do we go about studying instructional practice in a principled way?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Koschmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441975810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441975812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.20h x 9.30w x 1.40d","brand":"Timothy Koschmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424379781375,"sku":"9781441975812","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2021661a-82f1-456e-98dd-7af378b29fb1.jpg?v=1761529874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theories-of-learning-and-studies-timothy-koschmann-9781441975812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
