As well, teacher effectiveness and student learning are enhanced when research-based theories are used to design curriculum and daily lessons.  This book examines human learning in the context of four types of research-based learning theories: neurological learning theories, behavioral learning theories, cognitive learning theories, and transformative learning theories.  With each theory, the basic elements are described along with specific classroom applications.  The writing style makes these concepts readily accessible to readers of all levels of experience and expertise.  This book is appropriate for preservice teachers who are seeking to comprehend the basic ideas behind these theories.  It is appropriate for practicing teachers who want to understand and apply these theories at increasingly higher levels.  It is also appropriate for decision-makers or anybody else who wants to understand human learn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Johnson’s capture and summary of essential learning theories combined with his framework for application for all levels of teacher-learners would serve as an invaluable asset to instructors. I recommend Dr. Johnson's treatment of theories and issues as an asset and primer for teachers as lead learners at any stage of discovery and development. -- T. Woznicki, EdS\u003cbr\u003eSound learning theory is the cornerstone for effective teaching practice. Andrew Johnson’s Essential Learning Theories is a clearly written guide to understanding and implementing top learning theories. Johnson’s compendium of proven learning theories will provide a Rosetta Stone for successful teachers and stellar teachers of teachers. -- Charles Kyle, PhD, author, \"Time to Learn: Educational Histories of Incarcerated  Juveniles\"\u003cbr\u003eIt is easy to lose sight of the big picture of education when your day is spent frantically covering content, measuring progress, and “fighting fires”. Imagine re-discovering your “why” in a book on learning theories! When the basics are presented in a way that “connects-the-dots”, as Dr. Johnson has done in this book, they can be inspiring reminders of why we do what we do, how we can strive to be better, and where we are headed with our work. In his latest book, Dr. Johnson has distilled the most essential information on the subject of learning theories and their application in teaching and learning and, like a true master teacher, presented it in a clear and concise way. Of all the books I have collected on the subject of education, I return to Dr. Johnson’s most frequently. Dr. Johnson has generously embedded nuggets of wisdom in this book which reveal the “big picture” of the art and science of teaching. -- Jennifer Sopoci, M.S.
