An explosive growth in research on how people learn has revealed
many ways to improve teaching and catalyse learning at all ages.
The purpose of this book is to present this new science of learning
so that educators can creatively translate the science into
exceptional practice. The book is highly appropriate for the
preparation and professional development of teachers and college
faculty, but also parents, trainers, instructional designers and
psychology students. Based on a popular Stanford University course,
The ABCs of How We Learn uses a novel format that is suitable as
both a textbook and a popular read. With everyday language,
engaging examples, a sense of humour and solid evidence, it
describes 26 unique ways that students learn. Each chapter offers a
concise and approachable breakdown of one way people learn, how it
works, how we know it works, how and when to use it and what
mistakes to avoid. The book presents learning research in a way
that educators can creatively translate into exceptional lessons
and classroom practice. The book covers field-defining learning
theories ranging from behaviourism (R is for Reward) to cognitive
psychology (S is for Self-Explanation) to social psychology (O is
for Observation). The chapters also introduce lesser-known theories
exceptionally relevant to practice, such as arousal theory (X is
for eXcitement). Together the theories, evidence and strategies
from each chapter can be combined endlessly to create original and
effective learning plans and the means to know if they succeed.
