Urban Myths about Learning and Education

Bu kitapta öğrenme ve eğitimle ilgili en yaygın efsaneler ele alınmakta, bu efsanelerin herhangi bir gerçekliğinin olup olmadığı tartışılmakta, bunlar hakkında sağlam eğitimsel ve psikolojik araştırmaların ne söylediği incelenmektedir. Sol beyin/ sağ beyin ve beyin geliştirme programları, sınıfların ve okulların ne kadar büyük veya küçük olması gerektiği, okulların neden değiştiğinden tutun öğrenme stillerine ve nöroefsanelere kadar uzanan bir dizi efsane… Bu kitap özü ortaya koyan, esprili ve anlaşılabilir bir üslupla yazılmıştır ama aynı zamanda ilgili ampirik araştırmaların kapsamlı bir bilimsel incelemesine dayanır. Bu arada, Maslow’un çalışmasında bir piramit olmadığını ve ABD Ulusal Uygulama Laboratuvarlarının (UUL) elinde Dales’in öğrenme piramidini destekleyecek bir veri bulunmadığını biliyor muydunuz?
