Description and Table of Contents
Description
Learning is among the most basic of human activities. The study of, and research into, learning forms a central part of educational studies. The well-respected and established authors, Jarvis and Parker, not only focus on the psychological processes of human learning, but they also examine the importance of the relationship between the body and the mind. For the first time, this book considers how our neurological, biological, emotional and spiritual faculties all impact on human learning.
Topics covered include:
the biology of learning
personality and human learning
thinking and learning styles
gender and human learning
life cycle development and human learning
emotional intelligence and learning
morality and human learning
learning in the social context.
Drawing on material from the worlds of science and social science, and with contributions from international authors, this book will be of interest to academics in a wide range of disciplines.
