About Helping Students Learn In A Learner-Centered
Product Description “Oh boy, am I glad this book is here. Terry Doyle’s book brings together findings that will enable us to answer what so many college & university faculty members want to know: How do we enable our students to learn to learn (and love it)? If your goal is to develop lifelong learners, this book is a guidebook for your practice.”―Laurie Richlin, Charles Drew University of Medicine and Health Sciences “This book is brilliant in that it does three things very simply and without unnecessary complexity: it explains why learner-centered environments should be used, how to create them (complete with how to sell students on an approach that will actually help them), and how to tell when students are learning. What is different about this book is that Terry Doyle outlines WHY students will resist this change. His point-by-point guidance on creating a learner-centered classroom incorporates a strategy for bringing the students along as willing participants.”―Todd Zakrajsek, Director of the Faculty Center for Innovative Teaching at Central Michigan University Taking as his starting point students’ attitudes toward, and unfamiliarity with, learner-centered classrooms, Terry Doyle explains that motivating students to engage with this practice first of all requires explaining its underlying rationale, and then providing guidance on how to learn in this environment. This book is about how to help students acquire the new skills and knowledge they need to take on unfamiliar roles and responsibilities. Review "Doyle offers a great deal of practical advice on how to prepare students to engage in student-centered learning activities... the book contains many useful tips as well as appendices which provide rubrics and other helpful resources."-- "Teaching Theology and Religion" (10/1/2010 12:00:00 AM) "He is urging us not only to take a brain-based approach to teaching, but to show our students how their brains and memories work so that they can understand how to learn most effectively. He grapples with the hardest challenges that classroom teachers face when they try to give students responsibility for their own learning."--from the Foreword by John Tagg (7/6/2008 12:00:00 AM) "Oh boy, am I glad this book is here. Terry Doyle has explored and integrated a wide range of literature on learning. His book brings together findings that will enable us to answer what so many college & university faculty members want to know: How do we enable our students to learn to learn (and love it)? If your goal is to develop lifelong learners, this book is a guidebook for your practice."--Laurie Richlin, Director, Preparing Future Faculty & Faculty Learning Communities Programs, Claremont Graduate University (7/1/2008 12:00:00 AM) "This book is brilliant in that it does three things very simply and without unnecessary complexity: it explains why learner-centered environments should be used, how to create them (complete with how to sell students on an approach that will actually help them), and how to tell when students are learning. What is different about this book is that Terry Doyle outlines WHY students will resist this change. His point-by-point guidance on creating a learner-centered classroom incorporates a strategy for bringing the students along as willing participants. I see this book as a great read for experienced faculty who want to figure out a new way to construct a less lecture-based classroom environment, and for new faculty who need tips on how to teach well in a learner-centered environment. I have been teaching for 20 years and have been a faculty developer for the past 10 and, even with all of that experience, I still learned several things in reading this book."--Todd Zakrajsek, Director of the Faculty Center for Innovative Teaching at Central Michigan University (1/6/2008 12:00:00 AM) Review "Doyle offers a great deal of practical advice on how to prepare students to engage in student-centered learning activities
