 The
eagerly-anticipated 4th Edition of
Foundations of Learning
will be
available during summer, 2008.
This book is geared towards
first-year or freshman experience courses, but serves
equally well as an additional resource in any class where
students would benefit from 'learning how to learn.' With
its emphasis on transferable learning skills, students
develop and improve skills such as reading, writing,
problem-solving, using methodologies, planning, working in
teams, prioritizing, and so forth—the critical and
foundational skills that enable them to succeed not only in
college but in life and society as well.
Foundations of Learning
is based on the philosophy of Process Education™
and upholds the highest
standards of guided-inquiry learning. With
its innovative use
of student profiles and storytelling, as well as exercises
that encourage students to create a life-vision portfolio
and use self-assessment, Foundations of Learning is a
valuable resource in fostering student growth and student
success.
We invite you to view the
Table of Contents and the
Course Design Information for Foundations of
Learning, 4th Edition.
