Even on good days, teaching is a challenging profession. One way to
make the job of college instructors easier, however, is to know
more about the ways students learn. How Humans Learn aims to do
just that by peering behind the curtain and surveying research in
fields as diverse as developmental psychology, anthropology, and
cognitive neuroscience for insight into the science behind
learning. The result is a story that ranges from investigations of
the evolutionary record to studies of infants discovering the world
for the first time, and from a look into how our brains respond to
fear to a reckoning with the importance of gestures and language.
Joshua R. Eyler identifies five broad themes running through recent
scientific inquiry-curiosity, sociality, emotion, authenticity, and
failure-devoting a chapter to each and providing practical
takeaways for busy teachers. He also interviews and observes
college instructors across the country, placing theoretical insight
in dialogue with classroom experience.
