This popular trade book, originally released in hardcover in the Spring of 1999, has been newly expanded to show how the theories and insights from the original book can translate into actions and practice, now making a real connection between classroom activities and learning behavior. This paperback edition includes far-reaching suggestions for research that could increase the impact that classroom teaching has on actual learning.

Like the original hardcover edition, this book offers exciting new research about the mind and the brain that provides answers to a number of compelling questions. When do infants begin to learn? How do experts learn and how is this different from non-experts? What can teachers and schools do-with curricula, classroom settings, and teaching methods--to help children learn most effectively? New evidence from many branches of science has significantly added to our understanding of what it means to know, from the neural processes that occur during learning to the influence of culture on what people see and absorb.

How People Learn examines these findings and their implications for what we teach, how we teach it, and how we assess what our children learn. The book uses exemplary teaching to illustrate how approaches based on what we now know result in in-depth learning. This new knowledge calls into question concepts and practices firmly entrenched in our current education system.

Topics include:

How learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain.
How existing knowledge affects what people notice and how they learn.
What the thought processes of experts tell us about how to teach.
The amazing learning potential of infants.
The relationship of classroom learning and everyday settings of community and workplace.
Learning needs and opportunities for teachers.
A realistic look at the role of technology in education.

Um livro sobre as principais pesquisar em aprendizagem

" A nova ciência da aprendizagem está começando a fornecer conhecimento para melhorar significativamente as habilidades das pessoas de se tornarem alunos ativos que buscam compreender assuntos complexos e estão mais bem preparados para transferir o que aprenderam para novos problemas e ambientes"
Trás uma gama de pesquisas e conhecimentos atuais sobre a educação que nos ajuda a repensar os processos de aprendizagem. É um livro completo, com vários exemplos e que trilha várias opções de áreas de pesquisa. É um livro que eu indico a todos da área de educação ou que se interessam por um ensino de qualidade.
