Thinking About Teaching and Learning: Developing Habits of Learning With First Year College and University Students (1999)

Author(s): Leamnson, Robert

Media Type: Book

Category: Teaching Theory and Psychology

Description\Summary

This book builds on the insights offered by recent discoveries about the biological basis of learning, and on his definitions of teaching, learning and education. It provides teachers with a map to develop their own teaching philosophy, and effective nuts-and-bolts advice. The approach is particularly useful for those facing a cohort of first-year students less prepared for college and university. It helps to develop the students habits and skills that will equip them for a lifetime of learning.
