Nuthall, Graham Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Wellington, Nzcer Press, 2007.
Description 174pLight blue spine
Summary/Abstract This book is the culmination of Professor Graham Nuthall's forty years of research on learning and teaching. It is written with classroom teachers and teachers of teachers in mind. But realising time was short and that his life's work was laid out in learned papers for fellow researchers, he wrote this brief but powerful book for a much wider audience as well: for all those who seek a better understanding of classroom learning. The focus is on how students experience classroom learning activities and how they learn from that experience.
Contents What do we know about effective teaching? Myths and misunderstandings about assessment Understanding how students learn and remember what they learn Life in classrooms : the contexts within which learning takes place How students learn from the variety of their experiences Ethnic difference and learning Teaching for learning : a summary Ian Wilkinson and Richard Anderson

Perkins, David Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication San Francisco, Jossey-Bass, 2009.
Description ix, 252pWhite spine
Summary/Abstract Make learning more meaningful by teaching the "whole game". David Perkins, a noted authority on teaching and learning and codirector of Harvard's Project Zero, introduces a new, practical, and research-based framework for teaching. He describes how teaching any subject at any level can be made more effective if students are introduced to the "whole game," rather than isolated pieces of a discipline. Using real-world examples, Perkins explains how learning academic subjects should be approached like learning baseball or any game, and he demonstrates this with seven principles.
