Deep and lasting learning results when we teach human brains in
ways responsive to how they're structured and how they function,
which is not how we imagine they work or wish they would work. This
book proposes a radical restructuring of teaching so that it
conforms to how people learn. Spence maintains that teaching cannot
and should not be aimed at transferring knowledge from teacher
brains into student brains. In his words: "Decades of experience
have made perfectly clear that this approach frustrates teachers,
bores students, and results in minimal learning." This is a book
that challenges?it will poke and prod your thinking. The author
writes near the end of Chapter 4, "I wanted to write a book that
asked real questions and explored possible answers. I am not
concerned that you agree with my answers or ideas, but I fervently
hope the questions I'm raising will lead you to questions about
habitual teaching practices and the resulting failure of students
to learn."
