Erlbaum′ s reputation for important and original research in fields like psychology is well known. This work follows in a good tradition and opens up recent research into help seeking in an authoritative and highly illuminating way. Karabenick (of Eastern Michigan University) has edited ten perceptive chapters here (writing two of them), and contributors (mainly American) keep up a high standard of focus, coherence, empirical authenticity, and relevance. Excellent up‐to‐date bibliographies accompany each chapter. The book is intended for specialists involved in instructional design and delivery in a variety of situations from classroom to user education or training programme, from school to university. Its implications have wider application for trainers generally in the workplace.Help seeking has traditionally been associated with learning dependency, even dishonesty, and at best a mere coping strategy. Recent research reveals another picture: help seeking as a valuable adaptive self‐regulating proactive learning strategy. Help seeking is critical in any active effective learning. It argues that self‐regulated (or meta‐cognitive, ie reflecting on one′ s own learning processes) learners, in school and college, have purposeful control over learning outcomes. Help seeking is a complex process, and perhaps for this reason is only now being understood. In a wealth of psychological, sociological, and educational research, the book demonstrates how help seeking brings together cognitive (eg learning and knowing), affective (eg beliefs and attitudes such as self‐esteem and motivation to learn), and social‐interactional factors (say in the classroom or the study group).
