Smart Schools: Better Thinking and Learning for Every Child
PUBLISHED: 1995AUTHORS: David Perkins
Resource Summary
In this book, David Perkins draws on over twenty years of research which indicates that students from the first grade through college often have only the most superficial kind of knowledge even after considerable instruction in a subject. Here he reveals some commonly misguided strategies students use in trying to understand a topic, and why traditional-teaching approaches often fail. ISBN-13: 978-0028740188
