Psychology of Learning for Instruction, 4th Edition by Marcy P. Driscoll and Kerry J. Burner examines major theories of human learning and shows how psychological research can be translated into effective instructional practice. The book covers behavioral and cognitive approaches to learning, development, prior knowledge, constructivism, situated learning, motivation, neuroscience, and the growing role of digital technology in education. Updated application chapters demonstrate how learning theories can guide the design of instruction in settings ranging from schools and universities to professional and corporate training. The authors encourage reflective practice, helping students evaluate different theoretical perspectives rather than treating any single approach as universally applicable. Designed for students of psychology, education, instructional design, and teacher preparation, the 4th Edition connects contemporary research with practical teaching decisions and provides a foundation for understanding how people learn and how instruction can better support that process.
