This outstanding new teacher resource from bestselling author Peter Westwood explores a variety of learning processes, theories and concepts in order to help educators better understand and distinguish between the causes and outcomes of student learning problems. Westwood aims to show that problems in learning are not all due to weaknesses within students or their lack of motivation. Many learning difficulties are created or exacerbated by environmental, not personal, influences. Factors that have an impact on a student’s learning environment can be readily modified or improved, whereas weaknesses or ‘deficits’ within students are not so easily changed. Two of the most powerful influences in the learning environment are the school curriculum and approaches to teaching. Westwood argues that many learning problems can be prevented or minimised by matching teaching methods and lesson content to a learner’s current aptitude and prior experience. 2004 | 192 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB http://ezfile.ch/78t3ezjmkhttps://nitroflare.com/folder/949760/L00VuZ2xpc2g=
