Abstract

behind many of the works of these thinkers. While the book is not specifically focused on educational research methodology, it would be useful to understand how these theories were developed. The book is also unclear about whether it is about how these theories have been, or should be practised in reality. Although, at the beginning of this volume, the authors claim to provide some suggestions for application, there is a lack of evidence on where these theories could be applied. For instance, in the section Applying the Theory, the authors mention several times that “this theory has been practised by many countries/schools/teachers” (e.g., Chapters 3 and 17), but provide no evidence, references, or the context within which they were used. The suggestions offered in many chapters were unclear about whether they are evidence-based or simply hypothetical. For example, they argue that multiple intelligences can improve children’s selfesteem and confidence to support the application of this theory, but they present no robust empirical evidence to support this. In summary, this book provides a useful introduction to the thinking of contemporary educational theorists. It is beneficial to novices in education or anyone who is looking for a whistle-stop tour of contemporary educational theories, though their origins in research and evidence are unclear.

学习是如何发生的:教育心理学的开创性工作及其在实践中的意义
在这些思想家的作品背后。虽然这本书没有特别关注教育研究方法论,但理解这些理论是如何发展的将是有用的。这本书也不清楚它是关于这些理论在现实中是如何被实践的,还是应该被实践的。虽然,在本卷的开始,作者声称提供一些建议的应用,有缺乏证据,这些理论可以应用。例如,在“应用理论”一节中,作者多次提到“这一理论已被许多国家/学校/教师实践”(例如,第3章和第17章),但没有提供证据、参考文献或使用它们的背景。许多章节中提出的建议都不清楚它们是基于证据还是仅仅是假设。例如,他们认为多元智能可以提高儿童的自尊和自信来支持这一理论的应用,但他们没有提供有力的经验证据来支持这一理论。总之,这本书对当代教育理论家的思想提供了有益的介绍。它对教育新手或任何想要对当代教育理论进行短暂游览的人都是有益的,尽管它们在研究和证据方面的起源尚不清楚。

期刊介绍: International, comparative and multidisciplinary in scope, Educational Research and Evaluation (ERE) publishes original, peer-reviewed academic articles dealing with research on issues of worldwide relevance in educational practice. The aim of the journal is to increase understanding of learning in pre-primary, primary, high school, college, university and adult education, and to contribute to the improvement of educational processes and outcomes. The journal seeks to promote cross-national and international comparative educational research by publishing findings relevant to the scholarly community, as well as to practitioners and others interested in education. The scope of the journal is deliberately broad in terms of both topics covered and disciplinary perspective.
