A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Of all topics within the psychology of education, learning is one of the most crucial. Yet in terms of practical texts likely to be of use to teachers, it is one of the most neglected. This book is a short, down–to–earth account of learning by children of the kinds of knowledge and skills they acquire at school. Though it does not aim to show teachers how to teach, it gives a highly practical account of learning, remembering and related processes.

Some recent developments in mainstream psychology promise to be of enormous potential benefit for classroom work: increasing attention is given to the ways in which people use their knowledge and skills to acquire new information. Psychologists have come to grips with practical questions about the determinants of effective remembering and we are now much better informed about what children need to do in order to learn. This book is the first to present this material in a form suitable for those training and working as teachers.

Quatrième de couverture

This is the second edition of a highly successful book which presents a short, down–to–earth account of how children learn and of the kinds of knowledge and skills they acquire at school. Though it does not show teachers how to teach, it gives a highly practical account of learning, remembering and related processes.

In common with the first edition, A Teacher s Guide to the Psychology of Learning draws upon the contribution of modern cognitive psychology to increase out understanding of those kinds of learning that are needed for making progress in the classroom.

Together with substantial revisions, this updated edition includes a number of new chapters reflecting the increasing interest in human learning an knowledge acquisition.
