A groundbreaking look at the science of how it
works both in the mind and in the classroom, which teaching techniques
are most effective, and how schools should (and absolutely should not)
use instructional technology. This is an essential resource for
teachers, anyone interested in cutting-edge research into learning, and
parents considering the educational alternatives available to their
children.
As the head of Open Learning at MIT, renowned professor
Sanjay Sarma has a daunting job to fling open the doors of the MIT
experience for the benefit of the wider world. But if you're going to
undertake such an ambitious project, you first have to How do we learn?
What are the most effective ways of educating? And how can the science
of learning transform education to unlock our potential, as individuals
and across society?
Grasp takes readers across multiple
frontiers, from fundamental neuroscience to cognitive psychology and
beyond, as it explores the future of learning. Some of its
• For
educators teaching remotely, online instructional tools have been
proven to be a powerful ally when used appropriately—and a dangerous
impediment when misapplied.
• By structuring its curriculum to better
incorporate cutting-edge learning strategies, one law school in Florida
has rocketed to the top of its state in bar exam passage rates.
•
Scientists are studying the role of forgetting, exposing it not as a
simple failure of memory but a critical weapon in our learning arsenal.
•
New developments in neuroimaging are helping us understand how reading
works in the brain. It's become possible to identify children who might
benefit from specialized dyslexia interventions—before they learn to
read.
Along the way, Sarma debunks long-held fallacies (such as
the noxious idea of "learning styles"), while equipping readers with a
set of practical tools for absorbing and retaining information across a
lifetime. He presents a vision for learning that's more
