About the book
A good lesson takes care, time and hope. You find an example, explain it as clearly as you can, and watch for the moment when it begins to make sense. A few weeks later, someone needs to use it. How much of that learning is still there?
Unlearn: Learning follows twelve familiar beliefs back to the research, from learning styles and brain training to the retention pyramid and the 70:20:10 rule. It explains what the studies found, where the evidence falls short, and what we can do with a better understanding.
Through everyday teaching situations, pencil illustrations and clear accounts of the research, Liju Sam Rajeev explores how to help people remember, understand and use what they learn. Detailed footnotes let you look more closely at the evidence.
For anyone who wants their teaching to stay with people.
