Urban Myths about Learning and Education

Conférence en anglais


We have been going through two very special years. The good news about crises is that they will end. The bad news is that there will always be a new crisis on the horizon. How can we make our children more resilient? And as we’ve seen motivation levels drop, how can we motivate our children to work and learn?

Français

Nous avons traversé deux années très spéciales. La bonne nouvelle avec les crises, c’est qu’elles se terminent. La mauvaise nouvelle est qu’il y aura toujours une nouvelle crise à l’horizon. Comment pouvons-nous rendre nos enfants plus résilients ? Et comme nous avons vu les niveaux de motivation chuter, comment pouvons-nous motiver nos enfants à travailler et à apprendre ?

Bibliograpie

More Urban Myths About Learning and Education: Challenging Eduquacks, Extraordinary Claims, and Alternative Facts examines common beliefs about education and learning that are not supported by scientific evidence before using research to reveal the truth about each topic.

The book comprises sections on educational approaches, curriculum, educational psychology, and educational policy, concluding with a critical look at evidence-based education itself. Does playing chess improve intelligence? Should tablets and keyboards replace handwriting? Is there any truth to the 10,000-hour rule for expertise? In an engaging, conversational style, authors Pedro De Bruyckere, Paul A. Kirschner, and Casper Hulshof tackle a set of pervasive myths, effectively separating fact from fiction in learning and education.
