Effective Learning in Classrooms

Effective Learning addresses what makes learning effective and how to promote it effectively in classrooms. The text provides case studies and examples from practitioners and ideas and frameworks based on international research. Based on evidence about how classrooms change, the authors present four major dimensions of advancing real learning:

• Active Learning
• Collaborative Learning
• Learner-driven Learning
• Learning About Learning
