Riassunto

Apply these eight learning principles for more effective teaching

As educators in the ever-evolving landscape of higher education, we are continuously challenged to keep our courses effective, engaging, relevant, and inclusive. The updated and expanded second edition of How Learning Works can help! It incorporates the latest research, provides a wider range of strategies, and adds a new principle to your toolkit.

Readers will find eight essential learning principles that distill the overwhelming research literature into:

With these practical, broadly applicable insights, you can:

• Understand why your successful teaching approaches work

Dalla quarta di copertina

In the newly revised Second Edition of How Learning Works, a team of distinguished educators and researchers delivers an insightful and practical roadmap to creating a curriculum that meets the needs of modern students in modern classrooms. Readers will learn to design and implement effective, engaging, relevant, and inclusive courses that incorporate the latest learning research.

In this book, you’ll discover why new teaching approaches are so successful and how to solve common teaching and learning problems. You’ll also learn to adapt your teaching to new modalities—including online and hybrid environments—that bring with them novel challenges and untapped potential.

How Learning Works grounds its instruction and advice in evidence and research from cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, education, anthropology, and other disciplines, creating a firm foundation of evidence-based practice on which you can build your curricula. It includes 150 practical strategies you can apply immediately, in any teaching context, as well as examples that reflect a diverse and varied set of teaching environments and learner populations.

From understanding and emphasizing the importance of the prior knowledge students bring to your classroom to the different ways that students organize knowledge and apply what they know, this book expands upon the key principles identified by the authors in their thirty years’ experience working one-on-one with faculty and studying the research literature.

A can’t-miss resource for higher education faculty, faculty developers, and administrators, the latest edition of How Learning Works will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate students in education and those with professorial aspirations, as well as online and hybrid course designers and instructors.
