International Handbook of the Learning Sciences - Tapa blanda

"This kaleidoscopic volume introduces the learning sciences, the remarkably rich and complex interdisciplinary body of multi-method, multi-perspective inquiry into understanding and fostering thinking and learning. With its truly international authorship and perspective, this handbook is the place to start if you want to know how the learning sciences originated, what they are, and what they are becoming. It is destined to become a canonical reference."

―Alan Schoenfeld, Elizabeth and Edward Conner Professor of Education at the University of California, Berkeley, USA

"This handbook is a herculean accomplishment involving the contribution of over 100 prominent scholars from 17 countries in 4 continents. It captures theoretical advances beyond the established perspectives to address learning at the neural, institutional, and network levels. The wide-ranging innovations in learning environments and research methods encompassed make it a valuable resource for established scholars, early-career researchers, and educators interested in research-informed policy and/or practice."

―Nancy Law, Professor of Education at the University of Hong Kong

The International Handbook of the Learning Sciences is a comprehensive collection of international perspectives on this interdisciplinary field. In more than 50 chapters, leading experts synthesize past, current, and emerging theoretical and empirical directions for learning sciences research. The three sections of the handbook capture, respectively: foundational contributions from multiple disciplines and the ways in which the learning sciences has fashioned these into its own brand of use-oriented theory, design, and evidence; learning sciences approaches to designing, researching, and evaluating learning broadly construed; and the methodological diversity of learning sciences research, assessment, and analytic approaches. This pioneering collection is the definitive volume of international learning sciences scholarship and an essential text for scholars in this area.
