Graham Nuthall

One of those books that changes how you think about how children learn

An insight into the individual learner, which is very different to the other evidence-based teaching books. The book focuses on research done in the classroom, as opposed to the lab, and measures and observes many things, such as: Previous and post-teaching knowledge, microphones on the students in the lesson, an observer noting down the students behaviour during the lesson to see what those students are focusing on (the content, doodling, friends, etc), and post-teaching interviews with the show more students to see what they thought about their own learning and where it had come from (teachers, friends, books, etc).

"This book is the culmination of Professor Graham Nuthall's forty years of research on learning and teaching. It is written with classroom teachers and teachers of teachers in mind. But realising time was short and that his life's work was laid out in learned papers for fellow researchers, he wrote this brief but powerful book for a much wider audience as well: for all those who seek a better understanding of classroom learning"--Back cover.
