Reviews

[Christopher Heard]

This book is full of "teaching tips" for activities that get students engaged in learning "actively." If you incorporate activities like these into your classroom, students can be engaged more actively. I wouldn't suggest an unending, steady diet of only "active learning"—your brain can be "active" when your mouth is shut and you're listening to a good lecturer. But activities like these are incredibly valuable to provide variety and "processing time" so that students can "chew" on the material they've learned. There's lots of good research that shows the value of such techniques and their suitability to how our brains function.

Buku bagus tapi mahal 42 euro. Buku yang menunjukkan cara-cara efektif mengajar anak TK hingga mahasiswa. Bahwa metode belajar yang baik adalah aktif mendengar, melihat, bertanya, diskusi, memberi contoh, demo dan ekplorasi serta mengaplikasikannya segera.

Penulisnya mendukung teori Piaget dan Montesori bahwa anak kecil belajar dari aktifitas kongrit dan atas dasar pengalaman.
