This edition includes far-reaching suggestions for research that could increase the impact that classroom teaching has on actual learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLike the original edition, this book offers exciting new research about the mind and the brain that provides answers to a number of compelling questions. When do infants begin to learn? How do experts learn and how is this different from non-experts? What can teachers and schools do-with curricula, classroom settings, and teaching methods--to help children learn most effectively? New evidence from many branches of science has significantly added to our understanding of what it means to know, from the neural processes that occur during learning to the influence of culture on what people see and absorb.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow People Learn\u003c\/em\u003e examines these findings and their implications for what we teach, how we teach it, and how we assess what our children learn. The book uses exemplary teaching to illustrate how approaches based on what we now know result in in-depth learning. This new knowledge calls into question concepts and practices firmly entrenched in our current education system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow existing knowledge affects what people notice and how they learn.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat the thought processes of experts tell us about how to teach.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe amazing learning potential of infants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe relationship of classroom learning and everyday settings of community and workplace.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearning needs and opportunities for teachers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA realistic look at the role of technology in education.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"National Academies Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44932458741911,"sku":"9780309070362","price":3443.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780309070362.webp?v=1767261629","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/how-people-learn-brain-mind-experience-and-school-expanded-edition-9780309070362","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
