How do people learn? How can instruction promote learning? Learning and Instruction, second edition, thoroughly and succinctly answers these two fundamental educational psychology questions. The author focuses on the big ideas, preferring that students understand a few exemplary ideas deeply, rather than numerous ideas superficially. The book is research-based and painstakingly shows how specific instructional implications follow from research and theory. Coverage is organized around the two sides of the educational coin, learning in subject areas and instructional methods, that foster meaningful learning. The text uses clear definitions, concrete examples, active learning tasks and a conversational writing style that easily engages readers by addressing them directly.

This book is a very useful guide to help teachers implement results of psychological research in their classrooms. Mayer does an excellent job of describing the issues involved in current research, the relevant findings, and then exploring the instructional implications. Even though I am a student now, as a former classroom teacher, as I read I kept thinking of how I could use this information to help my students. Not all chapters are equally useful to all teachers (for instance, I found the one on textbooks not so applicable given my experience), but I am sure every teacher would be able to find many points of interest in this well-written and thoughtful book. Highly recommended!
