Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The International Handbook of the Learning Sciences is a comprehensive collection of international perspectives on this interdisciplinary field. In more than 50 chapters, leading experts synthesise past, current, and emerging theoretical and empirical directions for learning sciences research.

The three sections of the handbook capture, respectively: foundational contributions from multiple disciplines and the ways in which the learning sciences has fashioned these into its own brand of use-oriented theory, design, and evidence; learning sciences approaches to designing, researching, and evaluating learning broadly construed; and the methodological diversity of learning sciences research, assessment, and analytic approaches.

This pioneering collection is the definitive volume of international learning sciences scholarship and an essential text for scholars in this area.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised as a "kaleidoscopic volume" by Alan Schoenfeld of UC Berkeley, this handbook is acclaimed as both an introduction and a canonical reference in the learning sciences, reflecting its rich, interdisciplinary inquiry and international authorship. Nancy Law from the University of Hong Kong highlights it as a "herculean accomplishment" featuring contributions from over 100 scholars worldwide, covering theoretical advances and innovations in learning environments and research methodologies. It is valued by both seasoned and early-career researchers as well as educators interested in research-driven policy and practice.
