Five Teaching and Learning Myths--Debunked: A Guide for Teachers

by Adam M. Brown, Althea Bauernschmidt (Contributor)

Drawing from research in developmental and educational psychology, cognitive science, and the learning sciences, Five Teaching and Learning Myths--Debunked addresses some of the most commonly misunderstood educational and cognitive concerns in teaching and learning. Multitasking, problem-solving, attention, testing, and learning styles are all integral to student achievement but, in practice, are often muddled by pervasive myths. In a straightforward, easily digestible format, this book unpacks the evidence for or against each myth, explains the issues concisely and with credible evidence, and provides busy K-12 teachers with actionable strategies for their classrooms and lesson plans.

The Education Department bookclubbed this book. It was a great little reader and elicited some rich conversation. I was reading The Anxious Generation at the same time and the chapters on tech paired well.

had to read it for university, but it was actually extremely interesting and really well-written 💕

This is a short, easy read that is a must for any teacher or administrator. With that said, it was very short, and while the research was all listed for me to follow up with, I wish a bit more of it had been incorporated. It could have been a bit longer and still been a short, easy read.
