Description
This expanded edition of How People Learn explores the latest research on learning and its implications for teaching and education. By examining the neural processes that occur during learning, the influence of culture on what people see and absorb, and the relationship between classroom learning and everyday settings, this book provides new insights into how we can help children learn most effectively.
With a focus on practical applications, the book offers suggestions for research that could increase the impact of classroom teaching and explores the thought processes of experts to inform teaching methods. It also delves into the amazing learning potential of infants and the relationship between learning in the classroom and everyday settings such as community and workplace.
Through its examination of these findings, this book challenges traditional concepts and practices in education, providing a fresh perspective on how we can improve learning outcomes for all students.
