En savoir plus sur le livre

Supporting teachers in their efforts to enhance student learning, this resource translates 99 influential studies on learning into accessible overviews. The second edition expands on the original by incorporating 22 new studies that address key issues such as cognitive-load theory, well-being, and performance under exam pressure. It demystifies essential concepts and translates research into practical classroom advice, enhancing teachers' understanding of psychological research to better support student development in thinking, feeling, and behaving in school. The book breaks down complex research into essential facts and implications, featuring a blend of graphics and text. Each overview poses key questions, discusses related research, and considers practical implications. The content is organized into seven categories: Memory (enhancing retention), Mindset, Motivation, and Resilience (boosting persistence and attitude), Self-Regulation and Metacognition (promoting clear thinking), Student Behaviors (fostering positive habits), Teacher Attitudes and Behaviors (encouraging effective practices), Parents (impacting children's learning), and Thinking Biases (overcoming faulty thinking). This highly accessible resource aims to support, inspire, and inform teachers, parents, students, and educational leaders.
