Features: This book is a comprehensive introduction to learning theories and their schools, widely adopted by American universities as a professional textbook for disciplines such as teaching theory and curriculum theory. It systematically introduces the research origins of learning and teaching theories and their role in teaching, and elaborates in detail the evolution of Eastern and Western learning theories over nearly a century, from the behaviorist school to Vygotsky's cultural-historical development perspective. While summarizing theoretical schools, it also proposes teaching suggestions for classroom instruction.
