Widely considered to be the classic models text in the field, the Seventh ediiton covers the rationale and research on the major models of teaching and applies the models by using scenarios and examples of instructional materials. These models have shown to accelerate student learning and act as lifelong learning tools.

Therefore, the book can provide substantial support to programs taking a reflective teaching or constructivist approach.
