This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2016, this book offers superior learning tools for teachers and students, from A to Z. An explosive growth in research on how people learn has revealed many ways to improve teaching and catalyze learning at all ages. The purpose of this book is to present this new science of learning so that educators can creatively translate the science into exceptional practice. The book is highly appropriate for the preparation and professional development of teachers and college faculty, but also parents, trainers, instructional designers, psychology students, and simply curious folks interested in improving their own learning. Based on a popular Stanford University course, The ABCs of How We Learn uses a novel format that is suitable as both a textbook and a popular read. With everyday language, engaging examples, a sense of humor, and solid evidence, it describes 26 unique ways that students learn. Each chapter offers a concise and approachable breakdown of one way people learn, how it works, how we know it works, how and when to use it, and what mistakes to avoid. The book presents learning research in a way that educators can creatively translate into exceptional lessons and classroom practice. The book covers field-defining learning theories ranging from behaviorism (R is for Reward) to cognitive psychology (S is for Self-Explanation) to social psychology (O is for Observation). The chapters also introduce lesser-known theories exceptionally relevant to practice, such as arousal theory (X is for eXcitement). Together the theories, evidence, and strategies from each chapter can be combined endlessly to create original and effective learning plans and the means to know if they succeed.

Download or read book The Abc S to Starting at a California Community College written by Bertha Barraza and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Student Handbook with simple, easy, and practical information to help anyone navigate the complicated process of becoming a community college student. While California Community Colleges (CCC), are expected to serve the community needs, many new students face most of their challenges during the enrollment or registration process. However, not a single book has ever been published before to guide students to navigate through the various steps to enroll at a CCC. Other challenges new students face is their inability to understand the common language, which college employees use on a regular basis and expect new students to understand the terminology. Therefore, each section of this handbook begins with a section of Useful Words, to help potential students familiarize themselves with the words they will be expected to use while in college. This handbook also includes illustrations and videos for those who are visual learners.
