The four main goals of this edition of An Introduction to Theories of Learning remain the same as those of the first two editions. Those goals are: (a) to define learning and to show how the learning process is studied (chapters 1 and 2); (b) to place learning theory in historical perspective (chapter 3); (c) to present the essential features of the major theories of learning (chapter 4 through 15); and (d) to examine some of the relationships that exist between learning theory and educational practices (chapter 16).
