Oliver Caviglioli – författare

Med Oliver Cavigliolis fantastiska illustrationer som visuell guide beskriver Hur du får dina elever att lära sig hur lärare kan använda kognitiv psykologi i klassrummet.

Boken gör upp med seglivade missuppfattningar om inlärning och visar varför det är problematiskt att lita på sin intuition i undervisning. Den visar hur vårt minne, vår uppmärksamhet och vår perception fungerar generellt och i klassrumsmiljö. Författarna tar upp sex forskningsbaserade strategier för effektiv inlärning, bland annat interfoliering och elaborering. Boken innehåller många exempel och forskningsstudier som förklarar och inspirerar och en mängd konkreta verktyg.

Boken riktar sig både till verksamma lärare och till lärarstudenter på alla nivåer. Den kan också med fördel läsas av universitets- och högskolelärare och studenter.

Sagt om boken:

"Intressanta är de forskningsbaserade strategier som presenteras i avsnitt som berör planering av studier, förståelseutveckling och kunskapsförstärkning. Fördelad inlärning och interfoliering är strategier som ger insikt i hur elever medvetet kan forma sina studier på ett effektivt sätt. Bokens styrka är att den kan bidra till att skapa evidensbaserad undervisning."Katharina Jacobsson, BTJ-häftet nr 1, 2020.

Educational practice does not, for the most part, rely on research findings. Instead, there’s a preference for relying on our intuitions about what’s best for learning. But relying on intuition may be a bad idea for teachers and learners alike.

This accessible guide helps teachers to integrate effective, research-backed strategies for learning into their classroom practice. The book explores exactly what constitutes good evidence for effective learning and teaching strategies, how to make evidence-based judgments instead of relying on intuition, and how to apply findings from cognitive psychology directly to the classroom.

Including real-life examples and case studies, FAQs, and a wealth of engaging illustrations to explain complex concepts and emphasize key points, the book is divided into four parts:

Written by "The Learning Scientists" and fully illustrated by Oliver Caviglioli, Understanding How We Learn is a rejuvenating and fresh examination of cognitive psychology''s application to education. This is an essential read for all teachers and educational practitioners, designed to convey the concepts of research to the reality of a teacher''s classroom.

The central purpose of this book is to help teachers organise ideas through the use of graphic organisers. Over 35 such word-diagrams are: organised into a system to help select the right tool for the job; described for rapid understanding of their strengths; and explained for step-by-step construction.Over 50 teachers each have a double-page spread in which they reveal how they use them in their teaching — across the full age range and span of subjects. A further section of the book demonstrates how to use these word-diagrams most effectively by partnering them with other teaching strategies, such as retrieval practice, writing, speaking and listening, teacher explanations, advance organisers, scaffolding, remote learning and more.The pages are illustrated to the same quality and quantity in Oliver’s previous book, Dual Coding with Teachers, its natural companion. A must-have textbook for every teacher that transcends contemporary ideological allegiances and fads.
