Reviews |
| Higher education researchers, faculty and academic administrators, learning theorists and developmental psychologists will be studying this work
for many years….This book will itself inspire that which it studies, learning that lasts. |
Mary Brabeck, Journal of Moral Education |
| It should be read by all administrators responsible for curriculum. It
should be read by educational researchers as it illustrates how theory
and research can be applied to practice and how practice can be used
to generate legitimate domains for empirical inquiry. Said simply:
this is a very important book with the potential to benefit many sectors of higher education. |
Maryellen Weimer, The Teaching Professor |
| Few volumes on learning contain the complexity and depth that characterize
Learning That Lasts.…The authors honor their commitment
to multiple ways of knowing…modeling learning and knowing in
a complex, diverse world…truly a masterpiece. |
Marcia Baxter Magolda, Journal of Higher Education |
| How People Learn
is a good place to survey the emerging science of learning. Learning
That Lasts serves as an existence proof, showing that there is
more to the science of learning than theory and experiment. Psychological
scientists can and should take the lead in reinventing educational
systems. Learning That Lasts is an indispensable resource that
enables us to ask better, learning-centered questions about what we
can do with our knowledge. |
Milt Hakel, Psychological Science |
| The authors present an extraordinary range of lessons about student learning
to assist other institutions in becoming stronger learning communities. |
Thomas Ehrlich, Change magazine |
| For the reader seriously committed to transforming educational structures
and practices, this description of educational theory and practices
derived from more than twenty years experience of integrative education
at Alverno College comprises one of the most informed studies of how
to structure undergraduate education that promotes learning that lasts. |
Thomas Zlatic, Journal of Pharmacy Teaching |
| The volume is at once a chronicle of a single institution (e.g., Bensman, Boyatzis); an educational research study (e.g., Pascarella & Terenzini); an advancement of a theory of learning (e.g., Kolb); an organizational
development and learning textbook (e.g., Senge); and a handbook for
practitioners (e.g., Stringer). |
Virginia Lee, Journal of General Education |
| It provides a model for any institution with pretensions to being self-evaluative.
The authors have distilled a great amount of teaching, learning and
research experience into a narrative whose moral purpose—the
facilitation of student learning—shines throughout. |
Mantz Yorke, Studies in Higher Education |
