Description & Coverage
Description:

The field of education is in constant flux as new theories and practices emerge to engage students and improve the learning experience. Research advances help to make these improvements happen and are essential to the continued improvement of education.

The Handbook of Research on Applied Learning Theory and Design in Modern Education provides international perspectives from education professors and researchers, cyberneticists, psychologists, and instructional designers on the processes and mechanisms of the global learning environment. Highlighting a compendium of trends, strategies, methodologies, technologies, and models of applied learning theory and design, this publication is well-suited to meet the research and practical needs of academics, researchers, teachers, and graduate students as well as curriculum and instructional design professionals.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Cognitive Theories
  • Conceptual Frameworks
  • Constructivist Theory and Networking
  • Educational Technologies
  • Media Literacy
  • Open Education
  • Semantic E-Learning
Reviews & Statements

This book presents readers with a two-volume reference of international perspectives on contemporary applied learning theory and its impact on the design of curriculum and other components of education. The editors have organized the contributions that make up the main body of the text in chapters devoted to semantic E-learning, open education, media literacy, educational technologies, constructivist theory and networking, conceptual frameworks, cognitive theories, and other related topics.

Editor/Author Biographies
Elena Railean, PhD in Pedagogy, is a senior lecturer at European University of Moldova. Elena is the main author of more than 75 scientific articles in applied learning theory, design and methodology. The most significance papers are: Knowledge Model for Electronic Textbook Design (in Enterprise Resource Planning Models for the Education Sector: Applications and Methodologies, K. K. Patel (Ed.)); Issues and challenges associated with the design of electronic textbook (in User Interface Design for Virtual Environments: Challenges and Advances, B. H. Khan (Ed.)) and Instructional dynamic and flexible strategy: integrity of effective methods for engaging all learners in classrooms (in Critical Practice in P-12 Education: Transformative Teaching and Learning S. Lawrence (Ed.)). Her visions about e-pedagogy were published in book E-books & E-readers for E-Learning (Tiong-Thye Gon, Boon-Chong Seet, Pei-Chen Sun (Eds)).
