رسیدن به «متوجه شدم!» : کمک به دانش‌آموزان struggling برای یادگیری نحوه یادگیری

It's one of the great mysteries of teaching: Why do some students'get it'and some students don't?In this book, Betty K. Garner focuses on why students struggle and what teachers can do to help them become self-directed learners. Difficulty reading, remembering, paying attention, or following directions are not the reasons students fail but symptoms of the true problem: underdeveloped cognitive structures—the mental processes necessary to connect new information with prior knowledge; organize information into patterns and relationships; formulate rules that make information processing automatic, fast, and predictable; and abstract generalizable principles that allow them to transfer and apply learning.Each chapter focuses on a key cognitive structure and uses real-life accounts to illustrate how learners construct meaning by using recognition, memorization, conservation of constancy, classification, spatial orientation, temporal orientation, and metaphorical thinking. The author's simple techniques stress reflective awareness and visualization. It's by helping students to be conscious of what their senses are telling them, encouraging them to visualize the information for processing, and then prompting them to ask questions and figure out solutions on their own that teachers can best help students develop the tools they need to• Gather, organize, and make sense of information,• Become cognitively engaged and internally motivated to achieve, and• Experience learning as a dynamic process of creating and changing.Suggestions for using these techniques in daily classroom practice, advice on lesson planning for cognitive engagement, and guidelines for conducting reflective research expand this book's practical applications. Use it not only to help struggling students break through hidden barriers but to empower all students with tools that will last a lifetime.< It's one of the great mysteries of teaching: Why do some students "get it" and some students don't?

In this book, Betty K. Garner focuses on why students struggle and what teachers can do to help them become self-directed learners.

Whenever students can't remember, don't comprehend, or won't follow through on your instructions, here's a guide that explores the root cause for these and other learning problems and shows you how to set students on the path to understanding and success. Learning expert Betty K. Garner explains the mental processes students need to gather, organize, and understand information, and describes how to infuse your lessons with new routines and teaching approaches that truly influence students to become better, more independent learners. Real-life portraits of struggling students illustrate typical learning problems and help you diagnose and resolve them in your own classroom. Learn the steps to take to fundamentally change how at-risk students approach schoolwork by: (1) Encouraging students to use their senses to focus, recognize, and compare new information; (2) Helping students develop and practice their memory skills while you're teaching the curriculum; (3) Using maps, timelines, and other spatial representations to help students visualize new content, understand relationships, and solve problems; (4) Integrating metaphorical thinking into your classroom to help students describe and analyze content; (5) Involving students in activities that help them recognize and understand changes and consistencies; and (6) Helping students build and hone their classification skills "In this book, Betty K.
