Download Now Learner-Centered Teaching: Putting The Research On Learning Into Practice Articulated By Terry Doyle Accessible As EReader Version

a bad read, and certainly a bit more practical than the last book I read for this reading group What the Best College Teachers Do by Ken Bain.
But as a doc student, I can't really implement most of the ideas here, Would probably be much more helpful for someone with more control over their course development,

I need to read this again, It has many great ideas based on the latest research on teaching and learning, It would be an excellent book for someone just getting into teaching, Pretty much finished the final chapter and flipped right back to the introduction, So many sound, practical ideas about how to keep the college classroom focused on student learning, summed up in the Learner Centered Teaching's mantra "The one who does the work does the learning.
" I'd say I was a convert to learnercentered teaching if I didn't think that the dialoguebased giveandtake of the Latin/Greek classroom didn't already have much in common with these methods.
Specifically, that is, these classrooms already tend not to be lecturebased, Still, so much room for improvement, refinement, experimentation, etc, and this book provides a plan for putting researchbacked approaches into immediate action, Definitely recommended. Just not a whole lot to say about this book, Lots of good points and interesting ideas, not poorly written, overall just what you'd expect from a book by a professor written to other professors about how to teach better.
Nothing that's going to blow you away, but it does the job, Interesting book. I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate some of his recommendation in to my course.
This text works okay as an introduction or overview for these concepts, but it lacks depth and detail.
I recommend instead Weimer's sitelinkLearnerCentered Teaching: Five Key Changes to Practice, This book is essential reading for everyone in higher education, Doyle has marshaled the evidence that proves the effectiveness of learnercentered pedagogy, and he has presented that research in

a very accessible and engaging style.

This book presents the researchbased case that Learner Centered Teaching LCT offers the best means to optimize student learning in college, and offers examples and ideas for putting it into practice, as well the underlying rationale.
It starts from the premise that many faculty are much closer to being learner centered teachers than they think, but don't have the full conceptual understanding of the process to achieve its full impact.
There is sometimes a gap between what they would like to achieve in their teaching and the knowledge and strategies needed to make it happen.


To enable faculty to navigate this shift, Terry Doyle presents an LCTbased approach to course design that draws on current brain research on cognition and learning addresses the affective concerns of students uses proven approaches to improve student's comprehension and recall and that calls for the design of authentic assessment strategies such as engaging students in learning experiences that model the real world work they will be asked to do when they graduate.


The presentation is informed by the questions and concerns raised by faculty from over sixty colleges with whom Terry Doyle has worked.
