Synopsis

How do learners learn? Why do they learn? How do you make sure that learning sticks? Here's a book that answers these questions with real-world experience and sound advice on how humans learn best through active mental engagement. The book's interactive approach and fun and breezy tone illustrate the authors' point of view that learning should be active and enjoyable. Clear illustrations and solid research help you separate learning myth from research-based facts and dispel beliefs and practices that harm the instructional process.
