Description
Learning is often seen as a straightforward process, but the reality is that pupils frequently struggle to apply what they've been taught. In this book, Alex Quigley explores the reasons behind this phenomenon, identifying eight key factors that contribute to learning failures.
From the limitations of pupils' memory to the challenges of independent learning, Quigley delves into the complexities of the learning process, using cognitive science and research evidence to inform his arguments. The book also examines real-life examples of learning failures and offers practical solutions, including five steps to success and teaching strategies that can be applied in every classroom.
With its focus on overcoming common barriers to learning, this book provides valuable guidance for teachers looking to support their pupils and challenge the societal stereotypes that often surround failure. By understanding the root causes of learning failures, educators can take steps to create a more supportive and effective learning environment.
