Communication and Learning
Description
In this volume, leading scholars from the fields of communication, educational psychology, and international education address what is known about the strategic role of interpersonal communication in the teaching/learning process. Instruction often involves spoken communication that carries information from teacher to learner, and in these instances the teacher's skillful and strategic use of language has a measurable impact on learning outcomes. Thus, the cumulative findings of instructional communication research are instrumental in maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of both teaching and learning. Major sections of this volume include:
- Historical and Theoretical Foundations
- Instructor Characteristics and Behaviors
- Student Characteristics and Outcomes
- Pedagogy and Classroom Management
- Teaching and Learning Communication Across the Life-span
This handbook serves researchers, professors, and graduate students by surveying the collective findings of research and experience concerning the intentional activity of teaching and learning.
