Description¶

The volume's table of contents organizes the science of learning into four parts: an introduction; 'Learners and Learning' covering how experts differ from novices, learning and transfer, how children learn, and mind and brain; 'Teachers and Teaching' covering the design of learning environments, effective teaching examples in history, mathematics, and science, teacher learning, and technology to support learning; and 'Future Directions for the Science of Learning' with conclusions and next steps for research. This structure pairs findings about learners with findings about teaching environments and an explicit research agenda.
