Theories of Learning: Approaches to Teaching and Learning for Christian Educators and Theological Faculty

There is the way we think people learn, and then there’s the way people actually learn. This book helps answer the question, “How do people actually learn, and therefore how should we teach them?” That’s an important question that every effective educator keeps at the forefront every time he or she teaches a class, writes a lesson, designs a program or plans a curriculum. The survey of the theories of learning presented in this book provides and introduction to a broader repertoire of approaches and principles of learning and education that is available to the Christian educator, whether in a church context or a theological program—--a seminary or theological school.
