Synopsis:

John Hattie joins forces with cognitie psychologist Gregory Yates to build on the original data and legacy of the Visible Learning project, examining how research into human learning processes can inform our teaching and what goes on in our schools. The authors explain the cognitive building blocks of knowledge acquisition and discuss how to maximize impact on student learning, covering such topics as: teacher personaility; expertise and teacher-student relationships; how knowledge is stored and the impact of cognitive load; the psychology of self-control; myths and fallacies about how people learn.
