asp: The Science Tr'sforming How We arn

How exactly does learning work? What conditions are most conducive? Are our traditional classroom methods-- lecture, homework, test, repeat-- actually effective? And if not, what techniques are? Sarma takes readers from fundamental neuroscience to cognitive psychology and beyond, to consider the future of learning. He examines the role curiosity plays in promoting a state that brain researchers call "readiness to learn"--and its dark twin, "unreadiness to learn". He presents a vision for learning that's more inclusive and democratic-- revealing a world bursting with powerful learners, just waiting for the chance they deserve. -- adapted from jacket
