Description¶

A National Research Council consensus volume synthesizing the science of learning and its implications for teaching. The Preface explains that "a second NRC committee, the Committee on Learning Research and Educational Practice, was formed" to explore "how better to link the findings of research on the science of learning to actual practice in the classroom," and that the expanded edition "draws on that report to expand on the findings, conclusions, and research agenda" of the original. The volume is organized in four parts covering learners and learning, teachers and teaching, and future directions for research.
