简介:This best-selling text provides comprehensive coverage of general teaching methods and models. The most balanced text in its field, it covers all major teaching models plus the executive skills of teaching, namely, planning, classroom management, assessment, motivation, and use/management of time and space. This is also the most research-oriented text in its field. Each chapter opens with a discussion of the research base plus how to do action research in the classroom. The text is ideal for field-oriented courses and has over 100 pages of end-of-chapter interview, reflection, and observation activities-- plus four end-of-text resource handbooks on reading and using research; action research; observation, reflection, and microteaching; and Internet resources for teachers. The fourth edition has been thoroughly updated. The former chapter 3 on time and space is now part of chapter 2 on planning. Chapter 3, Classroom Motivation and Learning Communities, has been heavily revised. Chapter 6, Assessment and Evaluation, adds new material on performance and authentic assessment. A new chapter 12 covers problem-based instruction and a new chapter 13 discusses Learning Strategies. A new end-of-chapter feature, "Portfolio," provides step-by-step directions for creating and collecting a set, or portfolio, of particular artifacts and products, useful for displaying a candidate's strengths when interviewing for a teaching position. A new Resource Handbook appendix on the Internet provides valuable sites for teaching resources. New guideline notes in the text margin help student understanding.
