Rather than simply outlining the classical and modern theories of learning, this widely adopted text brings the material to life through case studies that engage students in debates about what really happens in classrooms. Students are encouraged to test the strengths and weaknesses of each theory so that, ultimately, they will learn to formulate their own philosophies of teaching and learning.
The new Fifth Edition of Perspectives on Learning features:
A discussion of common sense and learning theories. A new chapter on Transfer of Learning. Consideration of recent developments in brain science. A thoroughly updated list of Recommendations for Further Reading.
Perspectives on Learning is one of the five books in the highly regarded Teachers College Press THINKING ABOUT EDUCATION SERIES, now in its Fifth Edition. All of the books in this series are designed to help pre- and in-service teachers bridge the gap between theory and practice.
“A great little book packed with conceptual contrasts and rich classroom vignettes. The best resource I’ve found for teaching about theories of learning in a liberal arts college.”
―Jack Dougherty, Trinity College, Hartford, CT
“Phillips and Soltis should be commended for bringing together these various perspectives on learning that can be used by both pre-service and in-service teachers. The case studies…should facilitate active class discussions.”
―The Professional Educator

Very good coverage of competing perspectives on learning, and very wise recommendations for not adopting the perspectives as if
ery good coverage of competing perspectives on learning, and very wise recommendations for not adopting a perspective as if it were the only truth. Easy to read, practical for frequent consulting. An excellent introduction for teachers and non Psychology students.
Benjamin Holt –
Good resource for teachers
It is a great book for teachers. It offers examples which is easy to relate to.I will use this book to review my own practices as a tutor and teacher.
Bart Noorman –
Hard to bring into practice
I had to buy this book for a class called perspective on learning. As a student I have to say i don’t like it. I really did my best, but even after reading a chapter 3 times I still had trouble telling what it was actually about. The examples give the impression that they make the subjects easy, but actually fellow studenst who had to present a chapter came up with much better examples. Do the writers really think that future teachers can apply this? Thinking, yeah let’s make my lesson a behaviouristic one? This book is not for non-academic heads. It highly frustrated me.

Dr David Allan –
This book is highly accessible and perfect for those who need an overview of theories on how we learn. It is well written and provides an excellent springboard for exploration in this area.
