How Does the Brain Learn?
One of the keys to self-regulated learning is the knowledge of good metacognitive strategies that promote meaningful, lasting, and transferable learning. Indeed, research shows that this is one of the factors with the greatest impact on student performance and, consequently, on their motivation and autonomy.
In this book, which is written in a direct and very entertaining style, Héctor Ruiz Martín shares with young learners his knowledge about how we learn and, specifically, about the actions and circumstances that help us learn better.
Students aged 12 and older will learn strategies such as retrieval practice, interleaved practice, or elaboration. They will also discover the importance of planning and not leaving everything to the last moment, and appreciate the benefits of collaborating to learn. In other words, they will learn to learn.
Look no further: this is the perfect book to introduce the competence of learning to learn in tutorials from a scientific perspective based on how the brain works.
