The Art of Changing the Brain: Enriching the Practice of Teaching by Exploring the Biology of Learning (2002)
Author(s): Zull, James E.
Media Type: Book
Category: Teaching Theory and Psychology
Description\Summary
This book invites teachers in higher education or any other setting to accompany Zull in his exploration of what scientists can tell us about the brain and to discover how this knowledge can influence the practice of teaching. It describes the brain's functions in clear non-technical language and an engaging conversational tone, always relating them to the real world of the classroom and his own evolution as a teacher. It is grounded in the practicalities and challenges of creating effective opportunities for deep and lasting learning, and of dealing with students as unique learners.
