The Routledge International Handbook of Learning - 9781138577039

Taylor & Francis

As our understanding of learning focuses on the whole person rather than individual aspects of learning, so the process of learning is beginning to be studied from a wide variety of perspectives and disciplines. This handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the contemporary research into learning: it brings together a diverse range of specialities with chapters written by leading scholars throughout the world from a wide variety of different approaches. The International Handbook of Learning captures the complexities of the learning process in seven major parts. Its 54 chapters are sub-divided in seven parts: \n\n--Learning and the person: senses, cognitions, emotions, personality traits and learning styles\n\n--Learning across the lifespan\n\n--Life-wide learning \n--Learning across the disciplines: covering everything from anthropology to neuroscience\n\n--Meaning systems\u2019 interpretation\n\n--Learning and disability\n\n--Historical and contemporary learning theorists.\nWr.
