Description
One of the key issues for educators is how to design effective methods of facilitating understanding, learning & problem solving in their students. Until recently, such instructional design was determined primarily by common sense & tradition. As researchers have developed a more detailed knowledge of human cognitive nature, they have discovered that there are some inherent problems with this approach. An expert in the field of cognition & instruction, John Sweller surveys the findings of a research program that he has lead for many years. He also draws on this research of more than 20 years to develop clear principles for the design of instruction in mathematics & some physical science topics. Teachers can easily apply the author's recommendations to their teaching practices.
