One way to make the job of college instructors easier, however, is to know more about the ways students learn. How Humans Learn aims to do just that by peering behind the curtain and surveying research in fields as diverse as developmental psychology, anthropology, and cognitive neuroscience for insight into the science behind learning. The result is a story that ranges from investigations of the evolutionary record to studies of infants discovering the world for the first time, and from a look into how our brains respond to fear to a reckoning with the importance of gestures and language. Joshua R. Eyler identifies five broad themes running through recent scientific inquiry--curiosity, sociality, emotion, authenticity, and failure--devoting a chapter to each and providing practical takeaways for busy teachers. He also interviews and observes college instructors across the country, placing theoretical insight in dialogue with classroom experience. -- Publisher description. 650 0 $a College teaching $x Methodology. 650 0 $a College teaching $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Learning, Psychology of. 650 0 $a Cognitive learning. 650 0 $a Cognitive neuroscience. 650 0 $a Brain $x Research. 650 7 $a Brain $x Research. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837661 650 7 $a Cognitive learning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00866532 650 7 $a Cognitive neuroscience. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00866540 650 7 $a College teaching $x Methodology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868210 650 7 $a College teaching $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868214 650 7 $a Learning, Psychology of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995009 830 0 $a Teaching and learning in higher education (West Virginia University Press) 941 $a 6 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214031746.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20220128010302.0 952 $l UUAX975 $d 20200527015842.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022843.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20190402013228.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20190209010222.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59DBF6662C3811E9A2424E3E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
