Psychology Of Learning For Instruction by Marcy P. Driscoll

This book presents a clear, applied overview of major learning theories—behaviorist, cognitive, social-cognitive, and constructivist—and connects them to classroom practice by explaining memory, attention, problem solving, motivation, individual differences, and developmental considerations. It emphasizes how learners process and organize information, how instruction can be designed to promote meaningful learning and transfer, and how assessment and feedback support learning. Practical examples and strategies translate theory into instructional techniques for lesson planning, scaffolding, and creating effective learning environments. The text balances empirical findings with implications for teachers, trainers, and instructional designers.
