Description - A Teacher's Guide to the Psychology of Learning by Michael J. A. Howe
Of all topics within the psychology of education, learning is one
of the most crucial. Yet in terms of practical texts likely to be
of use to teachers, it is one of the most neglected. This book is a
short, down-to-earth account of learning by children of the kinds
of knowledge and skills they acquire at school. Though it does not
aim to show teachers how to teach, it gives a highly practical
account of learning, remembering and related processes.
Some recent developments in mainstream psychology promise to be
of enormous potential benefit for classroom work: increasing
attention is given to the ways in which people use their knowledge
and skills to acquire new information. Psychologists have come to
grips with practical questions about the determinants of effective
remembering and we are now much better informed about what children
need to do in order to learn. This book is the first to present
this material in a form suitable for those training and working as
teachers.
