Models of Teaching, 3rd Edition

In this new third edition Bruce Joyce and Marsha Weil offer a revised and updated approach to the different theoretical views of teaching and show how these theories are applied in the classroom. The teacher and curriculum will find a wide range of models for teaching and a stimulating guide to creating environments for learning. The authors describe ways to analyze, compare, and contrast models of teaching and how to maximize their benefits in the classroom.

The sixth edition of Models of Teaching is written to be the core of the theory/practice aspect of the K-12 teacher education program. It covers the rationale and research on the major models of teaching and applies the models by using scenarios and examples of instructional materials. Because it deals with the major psychological and philosophical approaches to teaching and schooling, Models of Teaching provides a direct link between educational foundations and student teaching. Therefore, the book can provide substantial support to programs taking a reflective teaching or constructivist approach.

For pre-service and in-service teachers.
