Learn to Teach explores the most up-to-date findings on how
children learn, to help teachers create effective learning
environments and plan for teaching. Drawing on a neo-Vygotskian
approach to learning, it covers the purpose of education;
socio-cultural approaches to human cognition; attention and
intelligence as cognitive tools; and the role of mindsets, memory
and language in learning. It promotes the idea that the mind is a
cultural product and that education is best understood as fostering
the development of valued cognitive tools appropriate for the
twenty-first century. To provide readers with a holistic
understanding of learning, the book explores the significant
contributions to the study of learning and teaching from
psychologists, sociologists and cultural theorists. Readers are
encouraged to critically engage with - and challenge - some of the
prevailing learning theories in order to better understand their
students. Each chapter features classroom observation exercises,
discussion questions and links to further reading.
