This popular trade book, originally released in hardcover in the Spring of 1999, has been newly expanded to show how the theories and insights from the original book can translate into actions and practice, now making a real connection between classroom activities and learning behavior. This paperback edition includes far-reaching suggestions for research that could increase the impact that classroom teaching has on actual learning. Like the original hardcover edition, this book offers exciting new research about the mind and the brain that provides answers to a number of compelling questions. When do infants begin to learn? How do experts learn and how is this different from non-experts? What can teachers and schools do-with curricula, classroom settings, and teaching methods - to help children learn most effectively? New evidence from many branches of science has significantly added to our understanding of what it means to know, from the neural processes that occur during learning to the influence of culture on what people see and absorb. "How People Learn" examines these findings and their implications for what we teach, how we teach it, and how we assess what our children learn. The book uses exemplary teaching to illustrate how approaches based on what we now know result in in-depth learning. This new knowledge calls into question concepts and practices firmly entrenched in our current education system. The topics include: how learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain; how existing knowledge affects what people notice and how they learn; what the thought processes of experts tell us about how to teach; the amazing learning potential of infants; the relationship of classroom learning and everyday settings of community and workplace; learning needs and opportunities for teachers; and a realistic look at the role of technology in education.

本书取材于作者与一千多名进入美国名校读书的学生深入沟通得到的第一手资料。通过将百里挑一的优秀学生与大多数经历平凡的学生作对比，强者身上所具备的七个共同特点豁然跃出：超越年龄的眼界、深入执着的探索、独立思考的习惯、分步实现的战术、影响世界的魅力、与“牛”共舞的经历、系统思考的智商。 全书以详尽真实的例子描述这七个特点，对于青少年自励拼搏、成为学校或者行业中的佼佼者具有极强的指导意义。 一个优秀的人不一定完全具备上述的七个特点，但一定具有其中的几项。“聪明”或“高智商”虽然是令人羡慕的优势，但早已不是青少年超越同龄人能够倚赖的砝码，在生活阅历和其它非智商因素面前，“智商只占七分之一”。
