Designed to present some of the current research on student
motivation, cognition, and learning, this book serves as a
festschrift for Wilbert J. McKeachie who has been a leading figure
in college teaching and learning. The contributions to this volume
were written by former students, colleagues and friends. A common
focus on a general or social cognitive view of learning is shared
throughout the volume, but there are significant differences in the
perspectives the researchers bring to bear on the issues. They
provide an excellent cross-section of current thinking and research
on general cognitive topics such as students' knowledge structures,
cognitive and self-regulated learning strategies, as well as
reasoning, problem solving, and critical thinking. Social cognitive
and motivational topics are also well represented, including
self-worth theory and expectancy-value models. More importantly, an
explicit attempt is made to link cognitive and motivational
constructs theoretically and empirically. This area of research is
one of the most important and promising areas of future research in
educational psychology. Finally, most of the chapters address
instructional implications, but several explicitly discuss
instructional issues related to the improvement of college
students' motivation and cognition.

Making rules. As if that's something Bradley Gold wants to get
involved in. If it weren't for his buddy, Coll, who roped him into
adding his "student input" to Roblin High's new code of conduct,
there's no way Brad would have been within ten miles of the
parents' committee meeting that turns him into an unwilling
activist. With high humor and exquisite farce, Perry Nodelman
reveals a side-splitting view of high school law and order.
This book provides a blueprint for using the arts—performing,
visual, and multimedia—to rethink what good learning, teaching,
and curriculum can be. The author presents a bold plan for saving
education with an arts-based approach to teaching that focuses on
risk-taking as the most important aspect of a successful classroom.
Halverson offers new models for learning that embrace the social,
cultural, and historical assets that kids bring to the classroom,
with guidance for designing engaging learning experiences for all
grades and subject areas. Featuring many evocative examples from
Whoopensocker, the author's in-school artist-in-residence program,
this resource illustrates how classroom practices and school
structures can be reorganized for more inclusive success. Readers
will learn how to reframe learning as acts of metacognitive
representation, identity, and collaboration. And lots and lots of
joy.Book Features: A guide for using theater, music, visual arts,
dance, and digital media to transform the process of teaching and
learning. Guidance for building learning environments with art at
the core, as opposed to adding art to curricula built around
standardized tests. Specific examples designed to inspire students'
creativity through writing, improvisation, and performance.
Exemplars culled from the author's 25-year history of making art
with young people. Accessible language appropriate for nonacademics
and nonexperts.
