Understanding How We Learn

Educational practice does not, for the most part, rely on research findings. Instead, there’s a preference for relying on our intuitions about what’s best for learning. But relying on intuition may be a bad idea for teachers and learners alike.This accessible guide helps teachers integrate effective, research-backed strategies for learning into their classroom practice. The audiobook explores what constitutes good evidence for effective learning and teaching strategies, how to make evidence-based judgments instead of relying on intuition, and how to apply findings from cognitive psychology directly to the classroom.Written by "The Learning Scientists", Understanding How We Learn is a rejuvenating and fresh examination of cognitive psychology's application to education. This is an essential listen for all teachers and educational practitioners, designed to convey the concepts of research to the reality of a teacher's classroom.
