Theories of education and theories of learning abound. This book explores the many lines of thinking that may influence how you teach. Bertrand explains who contributed what to our ways of thinking about learning and teaching - and why those contributions are important. 
Making sense of these theories and comparing them to one another is an important but difficult task. Bertrand has developed a model for program-planning and sound pedagogy which will help you analyze your practice and assist your students in developing a coherent theoretical foundation of their own. 
Totally revised and expanded, the second edition of Contemporary Theories and Practice in Education serves equally well as a course text or a professional development tool. Integrating new material, Bertrand has updated and reorganized the text into a more comprehensive and functional format. Included are the thoughts, research, and proposals of theorists such as Maslow, Piaget, Rogers, Vygotsky, Adler, Freire, and literally hundreds of others.

"Wisdom always begins with wonder and astonishment....Wonder should invariably lead to doubt, and doubt in turn to philosophical reflection." – Yves Bertrand Wisdom is a favorite topic of discussion among philosophers and gurus, but the quest to think wisely just as often attracts ordinary people leading ordinary lives. In "Nowhere Else", Yves Bertrand presents such readers with a holistic approach to wisdom and contentment, and offers an alternative to getting co-opted by the alluring ideologies of competition, consumerism, and celebrity. Nowhere Else creates a guide for the reader in order to move towards an individualized wisdom. It is a process of transformations: from fatality to personal energy, from actor to author of our lives, from competition to authenticity, and finally from self-knowledge to action. It is Bertrand’s contention that wisdom brings about happiness, connectedness, and the will to take part in life. For those seeking to make sense of their lives within the context of modern society, this volume offers a refreshingly unique approach, one which blends both modern and classical thought.
