Create a flyer for "Learning and Practice"

This text provides a provocative overview of how learning theory informs practice and how interpretation of theory contributes to more engaged practice. The chapter that tackles the relationship between neuroscience and education is especially interesting as there are marketised tensions that are difficult to resolve for both educators and neuroscientists. The chapter on organisational learning provides opportunities to reframe how this is viewed and implemented in the classroom and encourages reflection as to the sociological implications of how other theory overlaps.

This test demonstrates the diverse context of the sociocultural learning environment with interesting reading of international perspectives.
Thematic sections of the book consists of chapters that focus on (i) mind and learning; (ii) culture, tools and learning; (iii) identities, agency and learning - containing authorative theoretical nuggets of interest for those involved in education and training. A highly recommended text for reading and reference.

I have found this text both interesting and informative. It gives a general covering of a range of educational and workplace settings from pre-primary to further and higher education.

I am considering possible text for a Masters programme that I may be teaching on. This text will prove invaluable as the programme will attract a cross sector cohort involved in teaching and learning from a variety of settings. With that in mind, this will bring a commonality as we examine learning in all those contexts. I will be keen to review in again later when we have used in more on the course.
Thank you

This text is useful for any student entering any course of which has elements of teaching and learning. Interesting chapter on literacies and masculinities which provides important discussion points for any group.

I found this to be an interesting and informative collection of writings and am impressed that it has something to offer across a broad range of learning contexts. I have personally found the book useful in informing my practice as a tutor facilitating work-based learning and as the discussions within the book engage with many of the deep rooted philosophical 'chestnuts' of what constitutes knowledge, it is enormously relevant within the context of a changing academic landscape which is being contested on many levels.
