Product Description

The seventh edition of Models of Teaching is written to be the core of the theory/practice aspect of the K-12 teacher education program. Widely considered to be the classic models text in the field, the Seventh ediiton covers the rationale and research on the major models of teaching and applies the models by using scenarios and examples of instructional materials. These models have shown to accelerate student learning and act as lifelong learning tools. Because it deals with the major psychological and philosophical approaches to teaching and schooling, Models of Teaching provides a direct link between educational foundations and student teaching. Therefore, the book can provide substantial support to programs taking a "reflective teaching" or constructivist approach. In this age of school reform, educators are searching for the best programs and practices that show strong evidence of positive effects on student achievement. Models of Teaching has been and continues to be of great interest to these educators because research on the use of various models of teaching and the positive changes in student achievement are well documented in this classic text.

1.0 out of 5 stars another University of Memphis student, Jun 8 2004

By	david gingold (memphis, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The review by mcharbo was completely on the money. This text is a waste, and it is so poorly written that one can completely fill the margins commenting on the authors' errors! Of course, you don't really have a choice in buying this book if it's for a class, but doesn't the degree already cost enough at U of M? (That's what you're paying for at a mediocre school, isn't it?) I don't mind so much either when a good book happens to look cheap, but overpriced drivel like this shouldn't look this crappy; don't be surprised when you open the cover to find something that might've come from your printer. Do like I do, friends: Spend your time reading some quality literature and take a B- in the course. That way, you won't be the typically clueless Memphis school teacher, even though you might not have a MAT degree (anyone know what that is?).

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, Feb 19 2004

By A Customer

This text is an awesome summary of 'state of the art' teaching models that improve student achievement. The scenarios provide a glimpse into what each model would look like in the classroom. The authors have also provided an extensive rationale and research base for each model. Joyce is definately an author that informed educators should pay attention to.
If you want one of the best sources as an educator looking to improve his/her own teaching practice (and student achievement), this is it!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Graduate Education Student's Review, April 23 2003

By	"mcharbo1" (Memphis, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Models of Teaching (Hardcover)

After utilizing this book as the required textbook for the graduate level 'Models of Teaching' course at the University of Memphis, I can honestly say that, throughout my pursuit of a Master's Degree in Education, this has to be one of the worst texts I have ever had to suffer. I found it to be poorly written, badly formatted, and terribly confusing in its organization. Even my instructor -- who holds a doctorate in education and is a highly-regarded professional consultant in the field of adult education -- is still unsure exactly how many so-called 'models' were introduced by this unforgiveably overpriced excuse for a text! Thank heaven my classmates and I could rely on good lectures and excellent group learning activities. Leave this one on the shelf!! Better yet, tell Joyce, Weil and Calhoun to head back to English class and then re-focus their efforts on creating a teaching tool that will serve to help the student rather than frustrate him.
