Want to share a recent book we just published as a result of the collaborative work from the Teaching Learning and Innovation program discussing 50 classroom strategies to enhance learning based on related cognitive domains. In this book, I organized the strategies by what, how, or why, in each chapter; in other words: What is the strategy? How is it done? Why does it enhance the respective cognitive domain (e.g., motivation, attention, memory and social climate)? One important aspect is that learning comes from experimentation, from trial and error. This is the motivation for this book: helping those who are interested in enhancing learning and teaching using neural mechanisms by providing practical activities to be used in the classroom. All these activities (strategies) can be implemented relatively easily in the classroom, allowing you to learn which works best for your course format and audience. I chose the same cognitive domains used in my first book (Critical Thinking in Teaching & Learning) on this series: the basics of neuroplasticity, attention, memory, motivation and social climate, and stress. Each strategy is analyzed under one of these domains. Link for the book: https://lnkd.in/eRePGK2B
