Developing Attitude Toward Learning Author:Robert F. Mager From the Foreword: — Robert Mager has written that impossible educational work, a how-to-do-it book that is readable, practical, informative, and enjoyable. And he has done it in that most vexing area of classroom teaching: student attitude toward learning. — I think it will be underlined, asterisked, and dog-eared by professional teachers who wan... more »t to "produce" students whose future actions will demonstrate how well they have learned, not only by their competency in the subject, but also by their continuing interest in it.
In "Preparing Instructional Objectives," Dr. Mager stripped away the pedagogical trees hiding in the forest of instructional intent. "Developing Attitude Toward Learning" is perhaps the best example of "Magerism," the clarification of complex pedagogy through straightforward language that can be tested in action.
