There is no culture-free individual, and there is no context-free learning. This book focuses on the interaction between learners, context and culture. On the one hand, from an individual perspective, it analyzes the various connections between the human brain, memory, motivation, reasoning and other elements and learning; on the other hand, from a social perspective, it explains the complex interaction between culture, experience, cognition, evaluation and other elements and learning. The book points out that learning occurs in various forms, such as implicit, explicit, formal, and informal, and in various types such as perception, action, fact, and reasoning. Various intervention methods and strategies are also proposed to effectively support learning: a) teaching must deeply understand the prior knowledge, cognitive experience, interests and motivations of learners and educators, etc., And also consider the cultural characteristics and broad context of the learning environment; b) Teachers can provide targeted feedback and support to develop learners' metacognitive skills; c) Schooling can support all learners through curriculum and teaching techniques to connect academic learning goals to learning outside of school, thereby leveraging learning experiences and opportunities from a variety of settings; d) Assessment is a key tool to promote and monitor students' learning in school. The book also explains the future research vision and prospects. It can be said that things outside school determine learning in school, and learning in school should also inspire the environment outside school.
Reader comments
This book is very good! It made me understand that learning is not an isolated process, but is closely related to learners, context and culture. I especially liked the analysis of different forms and types of learning in the book, which was very enlightening. However, I kind of disliked the presentation of some theoretical parts in the book, which seemed a bit obscure. In general, the writing style of this book is relatively rigorous and the writing style is smooth. It is worth reading.
