Evidence-Based Learning Strategies for Educators and Trainers
The ABCs of How We Learn presents 26 scientifically proven approaches to teaching and learning, drawn from a popular Stanford University course. This resource translates learning research into practical classroom applications for teachers, college faculty, instructional designers, and parents.
Comprehensive Coverage of Learning Theories
Each of the 26 chapters breaks down a distinct learning approach using an accessible format. The book covers established theories from behaviorism (R is for Reward) and cognitive psychology (S is for Self-Explanation) to social psychology (O is for Observation). Lesser-known but highly practical theories like arousal theory (X is for eXcitement) provide additional strategies for exceptional teaching practice.
Practical Framework for Teaching Excellence
Every chapter follows a consistent structure that explains how each learning approach works, the research evidence supporting it, when and how to apply it effectively, and common mistakes to avoid. This format allows educators to quickly understand and implement strategies in their own teaching contexts. The theories and evidence can be combined to create customized learning plans with measurable outcomes.
Written for Multiple Audiences
While highly appropriate for teacher preparation programs and professional development, this book serves psychology students, trainers, parents, and anyone interested in understanding how learning works. The everyday language, engaging examples, and clear evidence make complex learning science accessible without sacrificing academic rigor.
About the Authors
Daniel L. Schwartz is the dean of the Stanford University Graduate School of Education and holds the Nomellini-Olivier Chair in Educational Technology. Jessica M. Tsang is the senior manager of research applications at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Kristen P. Blair is director of research for Stanford University's Strategic Digital Learning Initiative.
Practical Application for Classroom and Beyond
This Stanford-based resource bridges the gap between learning research and educational practice. Teachers can translate the 26 approaches into lesson plans, while trainers and instructional designers can apply the evidence-based strategies to corporate and organizational learning contexts. The book's dual nature as both textbook and popular read makes it suitable for formal coursework and self-directed professional development.
