Summary: Practical Pointers for developing better learners
Comment: This book is a very useful resource for middle school and senior school teachers. One of the strengths of this volume is that it helps bridge the gap between educational psychology and what happens in classrooms. The book is written for teachers, and as such, it provides a series of exercises they can use with their classes to help students become better learners. The authors have taken into account their audience by providing explanations that teachers can understand. A glossary of terms is also provided at the end of the book. The contents of the book are grounded in recent educational and psychological research. Bandura's social cognitive theory (and the importance of self-efficacy) provides the theoretical framework for the book. The book provides a very useful and succinct introduction to the principles of self-regulation and learning and then goes on to address five key academic skills that underpin academic success. Each of these key academic skills are described and a series of exercises are provided so that they can be developed over a five-week period. I found the description of self-regulation and ideas associated with each of the five key academic skills to be excellent, and I highly recommend the book on this basis. I have not implemented the exercises the authors have provided and I'm not really sure that I would. Nonetheless, I have heard of other teachers who have worked through these exercises with their students.
