Principles and Practice of Teaching (Routledge Revivals)
by Adjai RobinsonOriginally published in 1980, this book was specifically directed to student-teachers in Nigeria studying for the Nigeria Certificate in Education, the Advanced Teachers Certificate in some West African countries and for those pursuing the Bachelor of Education degree.

Apart from being a textbook of ‘principles and practice of teaching’, the book, which takes a pragmatic approach to various teaching techniques and classroom problems, could be used as a handbook by teachers and different categories of school administrators at the time. The personalised style in some of the chapters made the book suitable in a distance learning situation. Guidelines for teachers in the real school setting are also abundant. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

Principles and Practices for Response in Second Language Writing: Developing Self-Regulated Learners (ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series)
by Maureen Snow Andrade Norman W. EvansBased on the assumptions that students expect feedback and want to improve, and that improvement is possible, this book introduces a framework that applies the theory of self-regulated learning to guide second language writing teachers’ response to learners at all stages of the writing process. This approach provides teachers with principles and activities for helping students to take more responsibility for their own learning. By using self-regulated learning strategies, students can increase their independence from the teacher, improve their writing skills, and continue to make progress once the course ends, with or without teacher guidance. The book focuses on the six dimensions of self-regulated learning —motive, methods of learning, time, physical environment, social environment, and performance. Each chapter offers practical activities and suggestions for implementing the principles and guidelines, including tools and materials that teachers can immediately use.

Principles and Practices of Performance Assessment
by Nidhi Khattri Alison L. Reeve Michael B. KaneThis volume explores the recent national trend toward adoption of performance assessments. Embraced at all levels of educational decision-making--state, district, school, and teacher--the shapes these assessments take and the affects they have at the classroom level can differ significantly from one setting to another. Based on case studies of 16 schools, this study describes what performance assessments actually look like--the types of tasks they pose to children, the scoring methods used, the purposes to which they are put, and how they fit in with other components of assessment systems. It also shows how they differ when they are introduced by state departments of education, districts, and schools themselves. Factors that affect policymakers' and educators' abilities to successfully design and introduce performance assessments are also explored. These include the purposeful coordination of performance assessment with related education reforms, such as the adoption of content and student performance standards, and the professional development for teachers necessary to the successful implementation of performance assessments. Barriers to adoption, most notably the challenges of developing a technically sound performance assessment, are discussed as well. Crucial to teachers' ability to appropriate performance assessments for use in their own classrooms is their invovlement in designing and implementing them. Although it would be impossible for a state or school district to involve all teachers in the design of a performance assessment, they can take steps to foster teachers' understanding of the purposes and methods of the assessment, thereby supporting their ability to use similar methods in their daily teaching. Toward that end, this book describes the experiences of teachers and students with a range of assessments that all fall under the umbrella of performance assessment. In addition, it provides: *rich illustrations of those experiences across a diverse group of schools; *descriptions of the trade-offs inherent in developing a student assessment system; *demonstrations of why no single assessment can be "all things to all people;" and *valuable insights for teachers, administrators, policymakers, and researchers who want to improve their understanding of how performance assessments work in practice and how they may best serve to improve teaching and learning.

Principles of Blended Learning: Shared Metacognition and Communities of Inquiry (Issues in Distance Education)
by D. Randy Garrison Norman D. Vaughan Martha Cleveland-Innes Deborah DellThe rapid migration to remote instruction during the Covid-19 pandemic has expedited the need for more research, expertise, and practical guidelines for online and blended learning. A theoretical grounding of approaches and practices is imperative to support blended learning and sustain change across multiple levels in education organizations, from leadership to classroom. The Community of Inquiry is a valuable framework that regards higher education as both a collaborative and individually constructivist learning experience. The framework considers the interdependent elements of social, cognitive, and teaching presence to create a meaningful learning experience. In this volume, the authors further explore and refine the blended learning principles presented in their first book, Teaching in Blended Learning Environments: Creating and Sustaining Communities of Inquiry, with an added focus on designing, facilitating, and directing collaborative blended learning environments by emphasizing the concept of shared metacognition.
Principles of Classroom Learning and Perception (Routledge Library Editions: Psychology of Education)
by Richard J. MuellerOriginally published in 1974, this introductory text has been designed specifically for teachers in training, and it presents the basic psychological principles governing learning, perception, motivation and the retention of knowledge at the time. The text is carefully tailored for would-be teachers in its clear and informal style, and in its selective aspects of psychology which the teacher can use to advantage in his efforts to assist the child. The book has an eclectic approach to psychological theory, drawing upon the insights of behaviourism, perceptualism and the Gestalt school, as well as the developmental theories of Jean Piaget. The author discusses in some detail theories concerning the nature of intelligence, and the relationship between creativity and intelligence; and he investigates the dynamics of social adjustment, introducing the part that may be played by meditation in helping to solve some of the problems of emotional stress within the learning situation. In his consideration of the management of learning, the author lays much emphasis upon the importance of individual cognitive styles, individualizing instruction and independent learning. In one chapter Dr Mueller is concerned with factors in the measurement of personality and of performance in the classroom, and he reflects upon the specific problem of objectivity in such assessment. Finally, some consideration is given to the problems and characteristics of the socially disadvantaged child and to the role of the teacher in helping to solve some of the learning problems of these children.

How does this research synthesize into an iterative pedagogical process that fosters engaged, responsive students and facilitates their achievement of learning goals and objectives?Principles of Dynamic Pedagogy introduces students, faculty, and scholars of teacher education to the metacognitive competencies needed to ensure that students acquire, revisit, and explicitly comprehend their emerging knowledge and skills throughout the lessons of a curriculum unit. Driven by the conceptual and empirical foundations of the Dynamic Pedagogy model, this book will support current and future educators in consistently guiding their students to recognize, apply, and improve feedback on using metacognitive and cognitive processes for learning. Regardless of domain, teachers will be better prepared to manage their classrooms with a coherent approach to decision-making, adjustments to practice, monitoring and feedback, assessment design, and reflection.
