Small Teaching
Author: James M. LangPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118944496
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Employ cognitive theory in the classroom every day Research into how we learn has opened the door for utilizing cognitive theory to facilitate better student learning. But that's easier said than done. Many books about cognitive theory introduce radical but impractical theories, failing to make the connection to the classroom. In Small Teaching, James Lang presents a strategy for improving student learning with a series of modest but powerful changes that make a big difference—many of which can be put into practice in a single class period. These strategies are designed to bridge the chasm between primary research and the classroom environment in a way that can be implemented by any faculty in any discipline, and even integrated into pre-existing teaching techniques. Learn, for example: How does one become good at retrieving knowledge from memory? How does making predictions now help us learn in the future? How do instructors instill fixed or growth mindsets in their students? Each chapter introduces a basic concept in cognitive theory, explains when and how it should be employed, and provides firm examples of how the intervention has been or could be used in a variety of disciplines. Small teaching techniques include brief classroom or online learning activities, one-time interventions, and small modifications in course design or communication with students.

Learning and Teaching for Teachers
Author: Pradeep Kumar MisraPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811630771
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive and balanced description of learning and teaching by connecting it to secondary and higher education teachers’ experiences and practices in day-to-day life. Woven around research conducted by educationists, psychologists, and practitioners around the globe, this book presents key concepts and addresses significant discussions and concerns with regard to learning and teaching in the present age. Seeking to help teachers understand learners’ learning needs, preferences, and styles and manage their teaching plans, priorities, and practices accordingly, it details the main ideas and emerging practices related to learning and teaching in a very easy to ‘read, understand, and practice’ way. The first five chapters approach learning from different perspectives, while the next six explain in detail how to practice teaching to maximize learning outcomes. Combining the traditional textbook-style approach of content description with a self-learning approach based on various real-world situations and activities related to both learning and teaching, this textbook is particularly valuable for teachers in school education, higher education, and teacher education. This book is also an essential resource for fulfilling teachers’ continuing professional development requirements. Although intended for teachers worldwide, the book especially helps teachers in South Asian countries to improve learning outcomes in their classrooms and, subsequently, the quality of their education systems.
Extramural English in Teaching and Learning
Author: Pia SundqvistPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137460482
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
This book is unique in bringing together theory, research, and practice about English encountered outside the classroom – extramural English – and how it affects teaching and learning. The book investigates ways in which learners successfully develop their language skills through extramural English and provides tools for teachers to make use of free time activities in primary and secondary education. The authors demonstrate that learning from involvement in extramural English activities tends to be incidental and is currently underutilized in classroom work. A distinctive strength is that this volume is grounded in theory, builds on results from empirical studies, and manages to link theory and research with practice in a reader-friendly way. Teacher-educators, teachers and researchers of English as a foreign language and teachers of English as a second language across the globe will find this book useful in developing their use of extramural English activities as tools for language learning.
