Understanding How We Learn

by Yana Weinstein

This guide shows how to integrate effective, research-backed strategies for learning into classroom practice. The book explores exactly 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. It includes real-life examples and case studies, FAQs, and a wealth of engaging illustrations to explain complex concepts and emphasize key points.
