MAKING LEARNING WHOLE: How Seven Principles of Teaching Can Transform Education Wiley, December 2008 Genre: Science & Health Agent: Faith Hamlin Foreign Sales |
| Making Learning Whole is an innovative approach to teaching that has the potential to revolutionize education theory. In his latest book, Harvard professor David Perkins illustrates that we learn better when we understand how to play the “whole game”; that is, when we understand what we are working toward. His approach is in sharp contrast to more traditional educational models, which emphasize memorization and do not foster understanding. The “whole game” framework uses principles that are universals of learning, applicable to any age (from kindergarten through college and beyond) and to any setting. |
