Sinopsis

This book is about how teachers can help young people become better learners, both in school and out. It is about creating a climate or a culture in the classroom and in the school more widely that systematically cultivates habits and attitudes that enable young people to face difficulty and uncertainty calmly, confidently and creatively. Building Learning Power explains what this means and why it is a good idea, and introduces some of the small, do-able things that busy teachers can do to create such a climate. Students who are more confident of their own learning ability learn faster and learn better. They concentrate more, think harder and find learning more enjoyable. They do better in their tests and external examinations. And they are easier and more satisfying to teach. Even a small investment in building learning power pays handsome dividends for a school. But it also prepares youngsters better for an uncertain future. Today s schools are educating not just for exam results but for lifelong learning. To thrive in the twenty-first century, it is not enough to leave school with a clutch of examination certificates. You have to have learnt how to be tenacious and resourceful, imaginative and logical, self-disciplined and self-aware, collaborative and inquisitive. So Building Learning Power is for anyone who wants to know how to get better results and contribute to the development of real-life, lifelong learners both at once. In other words, it is for teachers, advisers, teacher trainers, parents and anyone else involved in formal or informal education. It is particularly for people who want more than sound-bites and quick fixes. Some of the early approaches to learning to learn were appealing but unsatisfying. They were built on shaky scientific foundations, and they did not lead to cumulative growth in students real-life self-confidence or ingenuity. Building learning power BLP is firmly grounded in both solid science and practical experience; it takes root and develops over time, and its results are therefore all the more robust.

Acerca del autor

Professor Guy Claxton has tested his ideas on building learning power with more than 30 LEAs from the Isles of Scilly to Northumberland and from Kent to Cardiff, and in dozens of practical settings across all phases of education, from Staff Development at Oxford University to Early Years in County Tyrone. He has been a keynote speaker at conferences on learning in America, Australia, Hong Kong and Sweden as well as the UK, and advises the Royal Institution and the OECD on education, creativity and the brain . His 1999 book Wise Up: The Challenge of Lifelong Learning was called the best book I ve read in 30 years by Professor David Hargreaves, ex-head of the UK Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. Guy Claxton is currently Professor of the Learning Sciences at the University of Winchester.
