Understanding How We Learn: A Visual Guide

Educational practice does not, for the most part, rely on research findings. Instead, there’s a preference for relying on our intuitions about what’s best for learning. But relying on intuition may be a bad idea for teachers and learners alike.   This accessible guide helps teachers to integrate effective, research-backed strategies for learning into their classroom practice. The book explores exactly what constitutes good evidence for effective learning and teaching strategies, how to make evidence-based judgments instead of relying on intuition, and how to apply findings from cognitive psychology directly to the classroom.  Including real-life examples and case studies, FAQs, and a wealth of engaging illustrations to explain complex concepts and emphasize key points, the book is divided into four parts:    Evidence-based education and the science of learning Basics of human cognitive processes Strategies for effective learning Tips for students, teachers, and parents.   Written by "The Learning Scientists" and fully illustrated by Oliver Caviglioli, Understanding How We Learn is a rejuvenating and fresh examination of cognitive psychology's application to education. This is an essential read for all teachers and educational practitioners, designed to convey the concepts of research to the reality of a teacher's classroom.

Maps have been used for centuries to help orient us in the physical world, yet they can also be useful tools for making sense of the more abstract world of thought. This remarkable book explores visual techniques for helping students understand how they think so they can become more effective learners. Thinking Visually combines the latest research with effective classroom practices that offer new possibilities for teachers and students. Activities included are designed to: teach thinking skills as part of any subject areas; improve reading and writing skills; support each stage of the learning process; demonstrate and develop intelligence; encourage four essential learning skills that apply to all students, regardless of the preferred learning style; measure intelligence and improvement in learning; explore effective classroom practices for planning, teaching, and reviewing. The visual learning strategies presented throughout the book will help students demonstrate their own thinking, increase their capacity to learn, and assume ownership and responsibility for their learning. Simple approaches to mastering the visual presentation of information range from exercises in categorization to persuasive student examples that illustrate thinking principles. A number of ready-to-use reproducible worksheets complement the text and make it easier to put these strategies to work right away.

At last! A book that reveals what thinking looks like. Think you can't see someone's thinking? Think again! This book reveals what happens when the normally private, hidden and undefined act of thinking is transformed into one that is public, available and explicit. Thinking Skills and Eye Q is the world's first lexicon of visual tools - once tooled up, you can transform teaching and learning in your classroom. Thinking Skills and Eye Cue is a breakthrough in thinking. Ironically, there has been lots of fuzzy thinking about thinking skills. Caviglioli, Harris and Tindall, though, are very clear about what thinking is. In this book, they link thinking skills with visual tools and the genres that pupils encounter in every lesson. The book provides a theory of learning that oozes practicality, common sense and relevance at all Key Stages. Thinking Skills and Eye Q is a smart tool kit, for transforming teaching and learning. This book shows how to use 40 different visual tools to:- infuse the teaching of the five National Curriculum Thinking Skills into subject teaching - develop writing skills in all six genres - show pupils how to be independent and creative thinkers and learners - make speaking and listening, questioning and responding an integral part of all lessons - raise IQ

As part of the discovery of cognitive science, teachers are waking up to the powers of dual coding - combining words with visuals in your teaching. But cognitive scientists aren't graphic designers, and so their books don't show teachers how to be competent in producing effective visuals. Until now.Dual Coding With Teachers is a truly groundbreaking educational book. No other book has been designed with both cognitive science and graphic principles in mind. Every page contains diagrams, infographics, illustrations and graphic organisers. It has been designed to cater for both the busy teacher in a rush, as well as the research-hungry colleague. Over 35 teachers, teacher developers, psychologists and information designers are profiled, each with a double-page spread, highlighting their dual coding practice.

The central purpose of this book is to help teachers organiseideas through the use of graphic organisers. Over 35 such word-diagrams are: organised into a systemto help select the right tool for the job; described for rapidunderstanding of their strengths; and explained for step-bystepconstruction. More than 50 teachers each have a double-page spread inwhich they reveal how they use them in their teaching --across the full age range and span of subjects. A further section of the book demonstrates how to use these word diagramsmost effectively by partnering them with otherteaching strategies, such as retrieval practice, writing,speaking and listening, teacher explanations, advanceorganisers, scaffolding, remote learning and more. The pages are illustrated to the same quality and quantity inOliver's previous book, Dual Coding with Teachers, its naturalcompanion. A must-have textbook for every teacher thattranscends contemporary ideological allegiances and fads.
