There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn,
and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research
that has important implications for individual learning, schooling,
workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain,
Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and
its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized
insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children;
described principles for the design of effective learning
environments; and provided examples of how that could be
implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have
continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated
new findings related to the neurological processes involved in
learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning,
and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific
understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain
adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important
discoveries about influences on learning, particularly
sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments.
How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a
much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research
over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out
in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation
of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II
will become an indispensable resource to understand learning
throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults. Table
