While most teachers are skilled in providing opportunities for the progression of children's learning, it is sometimes without fully understanding the theory behind it. With greater insight into what is currently known about the processes of learning and about individual learners, teachers are better equipped to provide experiences and situations that are more likely to lead to effective acquisition of knowledge, concepts and skills. 'Ways of Learning' has been widely used and now, fully updated, it seeks to provide further insight into the ways in which learning takes place, which teachers can make use of in their planning and teaching. The fourth edition includes developments in areas covered in preceding editions, as well as expanding on certain topics to bring about a wider perspective; most notably, a new consideration of learning styles.
