How learning works : 8 research-based principles for smart teaching / Michael W. Bridges, Michele DiPietro, Marsha C Lovett, Marie K Norman, Susan A Ambrose ; foreword by Richard E. Mayer.

Includes index.

"we have expanded from seven to eight principles, which has allowed us to delve more deeply into the social and emotional components of learning. A brand new chapter (Chapter 1) explores individual differences among learners, and the intersections of identities and backgrounds that shape how students enter, respond to, and shape the learning environment. A reworked chapter (Chapter 7) investigates more fully the ways that instructors can shape the climate of their courses to make students feel included or marginalized -- and the implications for learning and performance. Across all eight principles, we updated the research previously discussed while integrating new areas of research. Wherever possible, we applied a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens, exploring issues of power, identity, and belonging as they relate to teaching and learning. We have also referenced a broader range of institution types and student populations than in the previous edition, and incorporated case studies and strategies relevant to emerging educational technologies and online and hybrid learning modalities."-- Provided by publisher.
