4.0 out of 5 stars
Still useful introduction, September 13, 2001
This review is from: Completing the Puzzle: The Brain-Compatible Approach to Learning (Paperback)
This book is still widely available. It is a good, easy to read and informative introduction to Brain-Based Learning, covering a comprehensive range of topics relevant to education. The Table of Contents gives detailed and captivating topics grouped under 7 chapters. 1. Rain Forests and the Human Brain. 2. Instructional Strategies. 3. The Environment. 4. Curriculum. 5. Assessment. 6. Organizational Structures. 7. The Next Step. Dip into any page, teachers will find something of value.
There is a certain amount of over-lap with Jensen's other books, esp. "Brain-Based Learning" (1996). Its revised version (2000) would be a more preferable choice for those who are seriously interested in this field.
