Motivational Design for Learning and Performance
It is impossible to control another person’s motivation. But much of the instructor’s job involves stimulating learner motivation, and learning environments should ideally be designed toward this goal. Motivational Design for Learning and Performance introduces readers to the core concepts of motivation and motivational design and applies this knowledge to the design process in a systematic step-by-step format. The ARCS model—theoretically robust, rooted in best practices, and adaptable to a variety of practical uses—forms the basis of this problem-solving approach. Separate chapters cover each component of the model—attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction—and offer st...
Know Your Baker
Fiction. Omar's friend Art Serrano, a world-famous painter, is dead—either that or he's disappeared and has left behind what appears to be a suicide note. As months go by, as Art becomes the focus of a media feeding frenzy, who better to supply the authoritative accounts of his past and present life than his old friend Omar, a journalist, to whom Art's last messages, it turns out, were dedicated? In the meantime, Verónica, a factory-worker- turned-prostitute in Juárez, Mexico, is murdered outside a discotheque attended by the city's young and rich. Her roommate, Esme, quickly learns the police have no desire to find the killer. In fact, Vero's death is the most recent in a chain of slayings of hundreds of young girls and women in a city still clinging to the outlaw and desert-saloon mentality that has characterized the northern border for years. She unites with an angry, graying priest, blackballed by the church for his liberal ideologies, and the two attempt to follow the trail of the killers.
Encyclopedia of the Sciences of Learning
Over the past century, educational psychologists and researchers have posited many theories to explain how individuals learn, i.e. how they acquire, organize and deploy knowledge and skills. The 20th century can be considered the century of psychology on learning and related fields of interest (such as motivation, cognition, metacognition etc.) and it is fascinating to see the various mainstreams of learning, remembered and forgotten over the 20th century and note that basic assumptions of early theories survived several paradigm shifts of psychology and epistemology. Beyond folk psychology and its naïve theories of learning, psychological learning theories can be grouped into some basic ca...

Instructional Theories in Action
Companion volume to the award-winning best seller Instructional Design Theories and Models, this book serves as a concrete introduction to instructional design for curriculum developers, teachers and teacher trainers, and students. Eight major theorists translate their works and theories into sets of instructional prescriptions; corresponding model lessons provide step-by-step illustrations of these theories. Instructional Theories in Action features: *overviews of the most important prescriptions and corresponding sample lesson plans written by the original theorists; *practical, concrete approaches to presenting the major strategies and principles; *model lessons focusing on the same objectives to facilitate comparisons of the theories; *numbered comments that identify which instructional prescription is being implemented at each point of the sample lessons; *chapter introductions, footnotes, and student study questions, and *clear identification and cross referencing of commonalities that are often masked by varying terminology.

The Hammer and the Flute
Award for the Best First Book in the History of Religions from the American Academy of Religion Feminist theory and postcolonial theory share an interest in developing theoretical frameworks for describing and evaluating subjectivity comparatively, especially with regard to non-autonomous models of agency. As a historian of religions, Mary Keller uses the figure of the "possessed woman" to analyze a subject that is spoken-through rather than speaking and whose will is the will of the ancestor, deity or spirit that wields her to engage the question of agency in a culturally and historically comparative study that recognizes the prominent role possessed women play in their respective tradition...

Making Sense of God
We live in an age of scepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it's easy to wonder: why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites sceptics to consider that Christianity is as relevant now as ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice and hope - and Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet all these needs. Written for both sceptic and believer, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.
