Description

To most of us, learning something 'the hard way' implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and atheletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: A lot of what we think we know about learning is wrong, according to 10 years of research carried out by a team of 11 cognitive psychologists. Written by a professional storyteller, this audiobook flows with melodic sentences that are made even more appealing to hear by narrator Qarie Marshall. His effortless-sounding articulation and broad phrasing palette make this a production that listeners can warm up to while they're absorbing what science tells us about optimal learning. Among the findings is that retention is higher when repetition is deliberate and spaced, and when new information is offered in a variety of contexts and interspersed among lessons on disparate topics. More than aphoristic tips, these are powerful strategies, sometimes counterintuitive, that are already revolutionizing training and education in a variety of realms. T.W.

        October 27, 2014
        Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel provide a fascinating look at the latest research on learning. They identify the research, explain how it works, and provide relevant examples and anecdotes to help illustrate ways to integrate insights into the learning techniques of students, instructors, trainers, and everyday people. Reader Marshall delivers in a strong and clear voice that confidently guides listeners through the text. He provides a steady cadence, but also knows when to slow down slightly and emphasize information that is pivotal to understanding. Taken together, the authors and narrator create a learning experience that listeners will benefit from. A Harvard Univ./Belknap hardcover.
