Learning

A new title in the Routledge Major Works series, Major Themes in Education, this is a five-volume collection of cutting-edge and canonical research on learning.

Human learning is a well-established and flourishing area of research and study, and this new five-volume collection from Routledge’s acclaimed Major Themes in Education series meets the need for an authoritative, up-to-date, and comprehensive reference work to make sense of the area’s voluminous literature. Indeed, the dizzying scale of the research output—and the breadth of the field—makes this new Routledge title especially welcome. It provides a comprehensive collection of classic and contemporary contributions to facilitate ready access to the most influential and important scholarship drawn from the wide range of disciplinary, theoretical, and practical sources to have enriched our understanding of human learning.

Learning is edited by Peter Jarvis, one of the leading scholars in the field. The collection has been carefully indexed and each component volume is furnished with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected materials in their intellectual and historical context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital one-stop research resource.
