This book reviews current research on the nature of high quality learning and the factors that facilitate or inhibit it. The book addresses relationships between quality of learning and learners' dispositions, teaching methods, cognitive strategies, assessment and technologies that can support learning. The chapters provide theoretical analyses, reports of classroom research, and suggestions for practical application for both teachers and learners. The book will be of value to teachers at all levels of education and provides guidance for students about how to approach classroom tasks in order to develop high quality learning.CognitionEducational psychologyLearning, Psychology ofCognition.Educational psychology.Learning, Psychology of.370.15PSY000000bisacshKirby John R1607489Lawson Michael J1399355MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813919703321Enhancing the quality of learning4196758UNINA
