print version<\/a><\/p>\n this teaching guide highlights the pedagogical theory presented in the book:<\/p>\n how people learn: brain, mind, experience and school<\/a><\/em><\/strong> commissioned by the national research council, how people learn<\/strong><\/em> presents the conclusions of recent research in cognitive science, and then develops their implications for teaching and learning. the following highlights of this research may be helpful as you reflect on your own teaching practice, and how it may better enhance your students\u2019 learning. many vanderbilt faculty members have found the hpl framework useful.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n expertise is on a continuum <\/strong>that runs from novice to expert, and one is more or less fluent in one’s expertise.<\/p>\n expertise is field-dependent<\/strong>. expertise in one field doesn’t translate directly to expertise in another field.<\/p>\n characteristics of expertise:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n being aware of these challenges can help the expert in a field to work more productively with novices in the field to develop their expertise:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n make thinking visible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n be aware of knowledge level of students<\/strong>. the knowledge (and misunderstandings) they bring with them into the class will shape what they learn in the class.<\/p>\n use contrasting cases as examples<\/strong>. contrasting cases–two examples whose differences highlight a particular point or set of points–can illustrate the particular points you are highlighting as an instructor. note that experts are more likely than novices to see the relevant contrast between two complex cases that are similar in many respects. so it’s best to start with relatively simple cases and then move to complexity as understanding deepens.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n according to the cognitive research covered in how people learn <\/em>, environments that best promote learning have four interdependent aspects\u2014they focus on learners, well-organized knowledge, ongoing assessment for understanding, and community support and challenge.<\/p>\n 1. learner-centered<\/strong>: learner-centered environments pay careful attention to the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs that learners bring to the educational setting. teachers must realize that new knowledge is built on existing knowledge\u2014students are not blank slates. therefore, teachers need to uncover the incomplete understandings, false beliefs and na\u00efve renditions of concepts that students have when they begin a course<\/strong>. if these are ignored, students may develop understandings very different from what the teacher intends them to gain.<\/p>\n 2. knowledge-centered<\/strong>: knowledge-centered environments take seriously the need to help students learn the well-organized bodies of knowledge that support understanding and adaptive expertise. teachers are wise to point their students directly toward clear learning goals\u2014to tell students exactly what knowledge they will be gaining, and how they can use that knowledge<\/strong>. in addition, a strong foundational structure of basic concepts will give students a solid base on which to build further learning.<\/p>\n 3. assessment-centered<\/strong>: assessment-centered environments provide frequent formal and informal opportunities for feedback focused on understanding, not memorization, to encourage and reward meaningful learning. feedback is fundamental to learning, but feedback opportunities are often too scarce in classrooms. students may receive grades on tests and essays, but these are summative assessments that occur at the end of projects. what are needed are formative assessments that provide students with opportunities to revise and improve the quality of their thinking and understanding<\/strong>. the goal is for students to gain meta-cognitive abilities to self-assess, reflect and rethink for better understanding.<\/p>\n 4. community-centered<\/strong>: community-centered environments foster norms for people learning from one another, and continually attempting to improve<\/strong>. in such a community, students are encouraged to be active, constructive participants. further, they are encouraged to make\u2014and then learn from\u2014mistakes. intellectual camaraderie fosters support, challenge and collaboration.<\/p>\n the most effective learning environments contain all four of these interdependent foci.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n how people learn<\/em><\/strong> is available for check-out from the cft library<\/strong><\/a> and online<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n how people learn: bridging research and practice<\/a><\/em><\/strong> consultation services<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n <\/a> print version this teaching guide highlights the pedagogical theory presented in the book: how people learn: brain, mind, experience and school john d. bransford, ann l. brown and rodney r. cocking, editors national academies press;
