How Learning Happens is broken down into 28 short chapters, each one focusing on an important element of educational research. The format of each chapter with consistent sections (Why you should read this article, Abstract of the article, The article, Conclusions/implications of the work for educational practice, and How to use this work in your teaching) adds to the user-friendliness of this book.
With sections on how the brain works, prerequisites for learning, which learning activities support learning, the teacher, learning in context and cautionary tales, the book is valuable for all educators. Please see resources from our
ONlit book study focusing on this title as well!
The book study that Jim Hewitt and Nidhi Sachdeva of OISE hosted for us on this book were fantastic. The recordings of that are available on our YouTube Channel here https://youtu.be/P4m4UyT9TLw?si=yzaoi3HqncldzZ_1

This is a great book, suitable for teachers of any subject area, not just languages.
