Contemporary Theories and Practices in Education
Authored by Yves Bertrand

Contemporary Theories and Practice in Education explores the many lines of thinking that may influence how we teach. Bertrand explains who contributed what to our ways of thinking about learning and teaching – and why those contributions are important.

This book invites you to enrich your teaching through the thoughts, research, and proposals of theorists such as Mas-low, Piaget, Rogers, Vygotsky, Adler, Freire, and dozens of others. As reviewed in the American Library Association's Choice magazine, Jan. 1997:

"This well-written book could be used in introductory classes that focus on contemporary theories of education. ... Excellent for beginning students in educational philosophy or curricular theory, the book could also serve as a supplementary source for graduate students. It discusses many contemporary writers not commonly found in introductory volumes. Highly recommended for undergraduate and graduate students."
