Logan Fiorella – författare

During the past twenty-five years, researchers have made impressive advances in pinpointing effective learning strategies (namely, activities the learner engages in during learning that are intended to improve learning). In Learning as a Generative Activity: Eight Learning Strategies that Promote Understanding, Logan Fiorella and Richard E. Mayer share eight evidence-based learning strategies that promote understanding: summarizing, mapping, drawing, imagining, self-testing, self-explaining, teaching, and enacting. Each chapter describes and exemplifies a learning strategy, examines the underlying cognitive theory, evaluates strategy effectiveness by analyzing the latest research, pinpoints boundary conditions, and explores practical implications and future directions. Each learning strategy targets generative learning, in which learners actively make sense out of the material so they can apply their learning to new situations. This concise, accessible introduction to learning strategies will benefit students, researchers, and practitioners in educational psychology, as well as general readers interested in the important twenty-first-century skill of regulating one's own learning.

The third edition of the Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction provides an overview of contemporary research advances in the science of learning (how people learn) and the science of instruction (how to help people learn). With chapters written by leading researchers from around the world, this volume examines learning and instruction in a variety of learning environments, including in and out of K-16 and adult learning classrooms. Contributors to this volume demonstrate how and why educational practice should be guided by research evidence concerning what works in instruction. The book is written at a level that is appropriate for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in evidence-based approaches to learning and instruction.The book is divided into two sections: learning and instruction. The learning section consists of chapters on how people learn in a variety of domains, from reading and writing to science and math and beyond, as well as how people acquire the knowledge and processes required for critical thinking, self-regulation, motivation, and more. The instruction section consists of chapters on effective instructional methods—feedback, visualizations, active learning, self-explanation, collaboration, inquiry, games simulations, adaptive learning technologies, among others.Each chapter in this third edition has been thoroughly revised to integrate recent advances in the field of educational psychology. Selected returning chapters have been merged for concision and comprehensiveness, while new chapters reflect cutting-edge insights into socioemotional learning, educational neuroscience, active learning in lecture classes, and generative learning strategies. As with the previous two editions, this foundational volume showcases the highest quality research being done on learning and instruction by traversing a broad array of academic domains, learning constructs, and instructional methods.

Digital and online learning is more prevalent than ever, making multimedia learning a primary objective for many instructors. The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning examines cutting-edge research to guide creative teaching methods in online classrooms and training. Recognized as the field's major reference work, this research-based handbook helps define and shape this area of study. This third edition provides the latest progress report from the world's leading multimedia researchers, with forty-six chapters on how to help people learn from words and pictures, particularly in computer-based environments. The chapters demonstrate what works best and establishes optimized practices. It systematically examines well-researched principles of effective multimedia instruction and pinpoints exactly why certain practices succeed by isolating the boundary conditions. The volume is founded upon research findings in learning theory, giving it an informed perspective in explaining precisely how effective teaching practices achieve their goals or fail to engage.
