Description
The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching and its companion activity book provide important information for the new or experienced instructor. Career colleges, two-year and four-year colleges and universities often have few resources to support educators who struggle each day to effectively teach their students. This book and accompanying companion guide with CD-Rom fill that gap. Post Secondary institutions have growing populations and will continue to need new instructors and professors. This book will enable untrained educators to make a successful transition into the classroom. It also offers insight for those already teaching to make more powerful connections with their students. The book includes practical, easy-to-implement concepts, ideas, and exercises. The companion guide with CD-Rom provides templates for planning a course syllabus, designing lessons, and activities. The reader will also find sections on what the best teachers do that make a difference, as well as the characteristics of successful students. The book is designed to be utilized as a guide for professional development, and individual instructors will find it valuable for their instructional practice. The book invites post-secondary educators in all types of settings to explore what researchers can tell us about how people learn and to discover how this knowledge can influence the practice of teaching. The book describes research and dominant theories in the neurosciences, studies of cognition and educational psychology in clear, non-technical language and an engaging tone. It highlights key findings and concepts and relates them to the real world of the classroom in a flexible, non-prescriptive, but thorough manner.
