How People Learn
Book • 2019
Nick Shackleton-Jones' 'How People Learn' challenges traditional views on learning and cognition, proposing a new model centered around emotional responses and contextual understanding.
The book argues that effective learning is not about passively absorbing information but actively engaging with experiences and emotions.
It suggests that understanding how our brains process emotions is crucial for improving educational methods and enhancing performance.
The author blends insights from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy to offer a comprehensive perspective on learning.
The central thesis is that all cognition is an affective response, advocating for a shift in educational approaches to focus on emotional engagement and real-world relevance, rather than rote memorization and abstract theories.
