The Science of Learning summarizes existing cognitive-science research on how students learn, and connects it to practical implications for teaching. The report is a resource for teacher-educators, new teachers, and anyone in the education profession who is interested in how learning takes place.
DFI believes all teacher-candidates should know the cognitive-science principles explored in The Science of Learning. And all educators, including new teachers, should be able to connect those principles to their practical implications for the classroom.
The Science of Learning
What do we know about how students learn and what does that mean for how we teach?
That’s what The Science of Learning seeks to answer.
La Ciencia del Aprendizaje (Spanish version)
El propósito de La Ciencia del Aprendizaje es resumir la investigación de las ciencias cognitivas sobre la forma en que aprenden los estudiantes y relacionar esta investigación con sus implicancias prácticas para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje.
