For this models-based text on instruction, Eggen (University of North Florida) and Kauchak (University of Utah) add a new chapter on motivation and models of teaching to reflect the increasing importance of cognitive learning and motivation theory as foundations for instruction, and offer new emphasis on the influence of standards on planning and implementing instruction. There are new tables outlining the learning and motivation functions of each phase of each model presented. Also new is a section on how technology can be used to make the models more effective. The bulk of the book is devoted to detailed descriptions of teaching models, with suggestions for modifications to adapt them to a variety of situations. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
