Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to this book about Skinner, Ausubel and Gagné and their theories related to bilingual education! This book will explore their theories, how these theories can be applied in education, and the impact these theories can and do have on bilingual education.
Skinner's operant conditioning theory was revolutionary for its time and had a major impact on the way learning is approached in the classroom. Ausubel's work on meaningful learning has been critical to the development of more effective learning strategies in a bilingual context. Gagné's theory of instruction contributed to the development of teaching and learning strategies for bilingual students. Throughout this book, readers will learn how these three theories have been applied to the field of bilingual education and how they can be used to improve student learning and performance in a bilingual context. This book will also discuss potential challenges and limitations associated with these theories and their applications.
