Description
These two volumes essentially capture the focal points of the 1987 EARLI Conference. Volume 2.1 contains those contributions which are concerned with basic psychological and educational aspects of learning and instruction as for example social interaction in learning and instruction, problem solving, basic processes in knowledge acquisition, individual differences, research strategies. Furthermore, Volume 2.1 contains those contributions which deal with computer applications in learning and instruction. Volume 2.2 comprises contributions which analyse complex skills - teaching, text comprehension, text production - and complex knowledge domains, such as mathematics and science, by means of actual psychological and pedagogical theories and concepts.

Reviews / Votes
...the author's exposition is exhaustive and a good example of critical research....The papers in this extensive volume are well written without exception...each paper is based on exhaustive research...each author is in the forefront of their research...this is a definitive and penetrating volume which should provide an excellent sourcebook for educationalists, researchers, teachers and students of pedagogy...cannot stress enough the importance of this volume especially for those who are looking for 'coherency' and an excellent 'foundation' in mainly European, with a small amount of American, research in learning and instruction.Computers and Education
Learning and Instruction should appeal to a range of communities, from educational psychology and instructional technology, to cognitive science and artificial intelligence. It is heartily recommended.
