Abstract:
"Whilst most teachers are skilled in providing opportunities for the progression of children's learning, it is often without fully understanding the theory behind it. With greater insight into what is currently known about the processes of learning and about individual learning preferences, teachers are better equipped to provide effective experiences and situations which are more likely to lead to lasting attainment"-- Provided by publisher.
