NEW DESIGNS FOR TEACHING & LEARNING education HB 1994

FROM THE DUST JACKET:

New Designs for Teaching and Learning offers a survey of the most important trends in education -- including critical thinking, cooperative learning, and portfolio assessment -- and shows how they can be translated into classroom practice. The book will help educators design classroom programs that foster teamwork and thinking while getting children actively involved in their own learning.

Providing specific classroom activities throughout New Designs for Teaching and Learning, Dennis Adams and Mary Hamm show how these new instructional developments can be applied to the content areas. They suggest concepts and techniques that can be used in math, science, reading and writing, and the arts. They examine how electronic media such as television, computers, and interactive telecommunication are transforming learning. And they discuss the topic of social responsibility and citizenship education.

Successful teaching goes beyond the mere transmission of knowledge. By presenting a more dynamic view of teaching and learning, the authors open a world of possibilities for today's teachers and students.

Dennis Adams is a Professor in the Department of Childhood Studies and Reading at West Chester University, West Chester, Pennsylvania. Mary Hamm is a Professor of Education at San Francisco State University.
