"So clear a summary of Marx’s economic theories…. As an example of stern compression and yet lucid exposition of Marx’s teachings, this little book deserves high praise….There is given a sketch of the life of Marx, his development in knowledge and thought, his work in the various movements of the Working Class, his theories of history and class struggles, and his economic discoveries. In addition, a brief account of the Hegelian Philosophy, so far as it deals with the Dialectic, is placed in 19 pages of the Introduction. Marx’s connection and debt to this school of philosophy is well shown." -J. Fitzgerald, The Socialist Standard, No. 208 December 1921

Free Download Julien Mercier, "Collaborative and Individual Learning in Teaching: A Trajectory to Expertise in Pedagogical Reasoning "
English | ISBN: 1608768899 | 2010 | 136 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book focuses on a process which is generally known as teacher planning. Teacher planning is assumed in this work to serve two important functions. Its first function is to make teacher knowledge influence teacher intervention. Its second function is to promote the development of teacher knowledge. The first function has been much more discussed in the available literature than the second function, as presented next. Because of the links between teacher planning and action, teacher planning has a high potential as a vehicle for theory to be applied in teaching. These links include, at a certain grain size, the influence of the plan on opportunities to learn, content coverage, grouping for instruction and the general focus of classroom processes. Micro-level teaching processes such as specific verbal behaviour are not significantly influenced by planning, as they are mostly determined by interactive decision-making.

Free Download Learner-Centered Teaching: Five Key Changes to Practice By Maryellen Weimer
2013 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1118119282 | EPUB | 1 MB
In this second edition of the classic work Learner-Centered Teaching, Maryellen Weimer―one of the nation’s most highly regarded authorities on effective college teaching―offers a comprehensive introduction to the topic of learner-centered teaching in the college and university classroom. This thoroughly revised and updated edition includes the most current examples of practice in action from a variety of disciplines and contains new information on the research support for learner-centered approaches. Weimer also includes a more in-depth discussion of how students’ developmental issues influence the effectiveness of learner-centered teaching.Learner-centered teaching focuses attention on what the student is learning, how the student is learning, the conditions under which the student is learning, whether the student is retaining and applying the learning, and how current learning positions the student for future learning. To help educators accomplish the goals of learner-centered teaching, this important book presents the meaning, practice, and ramifications of the learner-centered approach and how this approach transforms the college classroom environment. Learner-Centered Teaching shows how to tie teaching and curriculum to the process and objectives of learning rather than to the content delivery alone. The book also offers well-researched advice for educators who want to transition to a learner-centered approach in their classrooms and identifies the steps to take to put into place learner-centered policies and practices. Learner-Centered Teaching provides a theoretical foundation for the learner-centered approach and outlines a positive way to improve teaching.
