The book also addresses how many policies, including curriculum, standards, guidelines, and standardized tests, work against the goal of integrative understanding, and discusses opportunities to rethink science education policies based on research findings from instruction that emphasizes such understanding.
Author : Marcia C. Brown,Henry L. Powerful Teaching Author : Pooja K. Agarwal,Patrice M. Greeno,Shelley V. Written with clarity, freshness, and a sense of urgency, this is a book that every educator—and everyone who cares about children—should read. Learning to learn is the key skill for tomorrow. This breakthrough book builds the foundation every student needs, from freshman orientation to graduate school.
Beyond updating every chapter with insights from new research, this edition introduces a range of additional topics — such as cognitive load, learned helplessness, and persistence — all of which provide students with immediately usable information on how to regulate their lives to maximize learning and fulfillment in college.
The premise of this book remains that brain science shows that most students' learning strategies are highly inefficient, ineffective or just plain wrong; and that while all learning requires effort, better learning does not require more effort, but rather effectively aligning how the brain naturally learns with the demands of intellectual work.
This book explicates for students what is involved in learning new material, how the human brain processes new information, and what it takes for that information to stick, even after the test. This succinct book explains straightforward strategies for changing how to prepare to learn, engage with course material, and set about improving recall of newly learned material at will.
This is not another book about study skills and time management strategies, but instead an easy-to-read description of the research about how the human brain learns in a way that students can put into practice right away.
Not what was fashionable, not what political and educational vested interests wanted to champion, but what actually produced the best results in terms of improving learning and educational outcomes. Visible Learning and the Science of How We Learn explains the major principles and strategies of learning, outlining why it can be so hard sometimes, and yet easy on other occasions. Aimed at teachers and students, it is written in an accessible and engaging style and can be read cover to cover, or used on a chapter-by-chapter basis for essay writing or staff development.
It also features extensive interactive appendices containing study guide questions to encourage critical thinking, annotated bibliographic entries with recommendations for further reading, links to relevant websites and YouTube clips.
Throughout, the authors draw upon the latest international research into how the learning process works and how to maximise impact on students, covering such topics as: teacher personality; expertise and teacher-student relationships; how knowledge is stored and the impact of cognitive load; thinking fast and thinking slow; the psychology of self-control; the role of conversation at school and at home; invisible gorillas and the IKEA effect; digital native theory; myths and fallacies about how people learn.
This fascinating book is aimed at any student, teacher or parent requiring an up-to-date commentary on how research into human learning processes can inform our teaching and what goes on in our schools.
It takes a broad sweep through findings stemming mainly from social and cognitive psychology and presents them in a useable format for students and teachers at all levels, from preschool to tertiary training institutes.
Rest assured that the book is not mere theory. Peak distills three decades of myth-shattering research into a powerful learning strategy that is fundamentally different from the way people traditionally think about acquiring new abilities. His groundbreaking work, captured in this brilliantly useful book, provides us with a blueprint for achieving the most important and life-changing work possible: to become a little bit better each day.
If everyone would take the lessons of this book to heart, it could truly change the world. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will discover the immense and incomparable talent of the human brain: its capacity to learn. You will also discover that : artificial intelligence is not yet equal to human intelligence; we underestimate the knowledge of babies; learning is revising, over and over again; all children and adults would benefit from knowing the four pillars of learning.
According to Stanislas Dehaene, learning is the greatest talent of the human brain. In his book "Learning! The talents of the brain, the challenge of machines", he invites teachers, parents and scientists to work together to advance educational sciences and their implementation in schools.
Faced with the alarming results of French schoolchildren's performances, Stanislas Dehaene's objective is to awaken in them curiosity and the joy of learning. If you too are enthusiastic about this challenge, follow the guide!
