How People Learn

Page history last edited by mark.trushkowsky@mail.cuny.edu 9 years, 3 months ago

 

Researchers have long been searching for better ways to learn. In recent decades, experts working in cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience have opened new windows into how the brain works, and how we can learn to learn better.

In this program, we look at some of the big ideas coming out of brain science. We meet the researchers who are unlocking the secrets of how the brain acquires and holds on to knowledge. And we introduce listeners to the teachers and students who are trying to apply that knowledge in the real world.

 

 

An eight-part interactive video workshop series for K-12 math and science educators. LOOKING AT LEARNING . . . AGAIN invites seven leading educators to share the origin, structure, research base, and applicability of their arguments for creating the most efficient and productive learning environments for students in our elementary and secondary mathematics and science classes. 

 

Daniel Willingham a currently Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia, where he has taught since 1992. "Until about 2000, his research focused solely on the brain basis of learning and memory. Today, all of his research concerns the application of cognitive psychology to K-12 education. He writes the 'Ask the Cognitive Scientist' column for American Educator magazine, and is an Associate Editor of Mind, Brain, and Education. He is also the author of Why Don't Students Like School? (Jossey-Bass).

 

Universal Design for Learning is a set of principles for lesson planning and curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn.

UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for each and every student--not just a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for the individual needs of all our students.
