Product Description
Human Learning, fifth edition, is the leading text on learning theories applied to education. It covers a broad range of learning theories, including behaviorist, social cognitive, cognitive, and developmental. Complex learning and cognition, including metacognition, transfer, and social processes in knowledge construction are also covered, as is motivation. Coverage demonstrates, through the author's extremely lucid and engaging prose, how different concepts relate to one another. The book provides dozens of proven examples, and emphasizes meaningful learning that makes the fundamentals of these theories comprehensible to students with little or no prior coursework in psychology. Key revisions to this book include a thoroughly updated section on behaviorism, a new, separate chapter on the developmental theories of Piaget and Vygotsky, and a reorganized motivation section.

 Not recommended for graduate level, 2008-12-29
As a doctoral student in special education, I enrolled in a human learning theory class with other masters and doctoral students. This book was assigned and after a semester with it, I can say I "survived" this horrible text.
It reads like the author's personal life story. There is little professionalism in the text, but I did learn plenty about the author's family, children, collegiate life, etc. This book is more than sufficient for undergraduate learning, but in an advance course, this book falls flat on its face and leaves the reader wishing for a more mature presentation.

 Human Learning, Fourth Edition by Jeanne Ellis Ormrod, 2007-03-21
This is a extrmely good book for student to understand the theories and principles of human learning.
Especially, the author explain well various theories by the memories which she have had.
In case of difficult theories, the samples is very useful.

The most amazing textbook ever written!, 2006-10-10
This is the best textbook I have ever used. It is engaging, VERY well written- basically- a page turner that will leave you with a true understanding of the concepts of cognitive science and learning. It is a joy to read, I have taken it with me for grad. school and will always have it close. Though it is an amazing reference tool to have around, this is really a joy to read--read it even if it is not for a class. I cannot say enough good things about this book.

Human Learning, 2000-06-04
This is an amazingly well written text. Ms Ormrod actually practices what she preaches, so the book is organised as an exemplar of how to help students learn. I bought the book as an optional text for a Masters in Education, then I sat up one night to check it out. It became compulsive reading, very hard to put down. It gives a broad overview of Educational Psychology thinking over a wide period of time, and encapsulates it. It is full of useful references. Many of my colleagues have borrowed this book for various courses and for course development for educational projects.

This is a good practical reference book for teachers., 1999-09-12
Human learning gives a good basic understanding of learning theory for teachers and others who are interested in educational psychology. There are some very good examples for all theories discussed. The book jumps around a bit and some of the explanations are too technical.
