Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Lowman presents for the first time a new learning model that details the relative strength of six sources of influence on what and how much students learn in a college course. He expands his earlier model of effective teaching to place more emphasis on motivational skill and commitment to teaching. In addition, he presents still more options on how to organize classes and use group work to promote learning.

From the Back Cover
"Masterfully balancing the practitioner's need for concrete suggestions and the scholar's quest for intriguing ideas, this book offers tips to be tried in class tomorrow and ideas to be mused on for months."
—Maryellen Weimer, professor, Penn State University-Berks Campus

"I have used the first edition of Joe Lowman's book for years and found it most helpful. The new edition is a must for teachers and faculty developers."
—Milt Cox, University Director for Teaching Effectivness Programs, Miami University

"Lowman's book has it all. Excellent suggestions for active learning, a conceptual model for guiding teaching practices, and research results that nicely support the ideas for enhancing teaching that he advocates.... The best book I've read in a long time on college teaching."
—Anthony F. Grasha, professor, Department of Psychology, University of Cincinnati

"Lowman has somehow managed to preserve the best of his original edition while adding important and relevant new material. I am confident that this edition will be as well received by my students as the first edition has been—something that does not happen often."
—James O. Hammons, professor, College of Education, Educational Leadership, Counseling and Foundations, University of Arkansas

In this second edition of his classic resource, Joseph Lowman expands on his earlier model of effective teaching to place greater emphasis on motivational skill and commitment to teaching. He presents a practical new learning model that compares six sources of influence on what and how students learn in a college course. All types of teachers and instructors will discover options on how to organize classes and use group work to promote learning. They will also find a checklist for assessing their classroom performance on video, detailed instructions for using video analysis to improve their technique, and an innovative approach to evaluating their overall performance. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
