5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on cognitive learning, November 23, 1999

By	K. L Sadler (Freedom, Pa. USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School (Hardcover)

As a Deaf person and an educator, as well as having two degrees in Neuroscience, I found this book extremely helpful in elucidating what has been done in understanding how we learn. Perhaps even more important is the questions that the authors, contributors and editors raise concerning what more needs to be done, to adequately help all students reach their highest potential. The book is concise and knowledgeable without being needlessly wordy. It is written so that everybody can understand and make use of it to help educators and researchers to further their goals and those of their students. I've had this book less than six months and yet I've quoted it several times in papers, and refer to it constantly. Thanks to the editors for doing such a great job. Karen L. Sadler Science Education University of Pittsburgh

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best summary of pratical educational research, August 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School (Hardcover)

This summary of research in human learning and what this body of knowledge suggests should be the direction of education in the next 10 years makes this work a must read for any educational professional. We owe a debt of gratitude to the National Research Council for the depth and quality of this work. It is already being used by many educators in the Bay Area to guide teachers and school administrators in their efforts to provide an education that prepares our young people for the next century! This would make an outstanding resource for both working teachers and those studyiong education at the graduate level.
