About the Book

Beyond Buzzwords examines popular but ineffective instructional concepts and explains why many popular educational ideas lack evidence and theoretical support for improving instruction. Beyond Buzzwords critically examines instructional goals and the meaning of evidence-based instruction. A new instructional model is presented, based on scientifically sound learning theory that indicates how instructors can improve the quality of their instruction. Classroom and online instructional environments are contrasted in terms of key learning variables. Collaborative learning methods are also assessed in light of the presented model of higher-quality instruction. All instructors can improve their instructional quality through the principles and model presented.

Table of Contents:
Preface Introduction Chapter One: The Goals of Improved Instruction Chapter Two: What Evidence? Chapter Three: Big Ideas, Little Evidence Chapter Four: What Can Improve Instruction? Chapter Five: An Information Processing Instructional Model Chapter Six: Instructional Support for Internalization Chapter Seven: Supporting Externalization Chapter Eight: Instructional Environments Chapter Nine: Peer-to-Peer Collaborative Learning Methods Chapter Ten: Using the I-E Instructional Model to Design High-Quality Instruction

About the Author :
Robert Jorczak is an educational psychologist and researcher who has taught every educational level from kindergarten to graduate school. He has been an instructional designer and educational technology consultant for corporate and academic clients for over 20 years.

Review :
Dr. Jorczak provides an evidence-based framework for improving instruction. This book is needed in the highly professional field of instructional design because it combines contemporary learning theories with field based best practices. It would be valuable as a college text and practitioners handy reference source.
