Book Description

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 leaing.
I think it will be underlined, asterisked, and dog-eared by
professional teachers who want to “produce” students whose
future actions will demonstrate how well they have leaed,
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 the forest of instructional
intent. Developing Attitude Toward Leaing is perhaps the
best example yet of “Magerism”—the clarification of complex
pedagogy through straightforward language that can be tested
in action.
