Foundations of Educational Theory
About this book
Educational theories provide the conceptual framework for understanding how learning occurs and how instruction can be optimized to support student growth. These theories bridge psychology, philosophy, and pedagogy to shape effective teaching practices. Foundations of Educational Theory examines major theoretical perspectives, including behaviorism, constructivism, cognitivism, and humanism. The book discusses how these frameworks influence curriculum design, classroom management, and assessment. It also explores the relationship between learning environments and student motivation. With its blend of historical context and modern interpretation, it offers educators and researchers a comprehensive foundation for analyzing and improving educational practice.
