Rezensionen

In this reader-friendly book, the authors show how research can be applied to solve teachers' most enduring challenge-creating richer learning opportunities for students. By presenting and interpreting a powerful theory of teaching and learning, along with examples from different school subjects, the authors lay out a coherent and compelling set of principles for planning, implementing, and improving instruction. This is a must read for teachers (and researchers) who want thoughtful, research-grounded, useable suggestions for improving their craft.

Many competent and dedicated teachers have likely pondered why some students fail to learn despite their meticulous planning and conscientious teaching. This book aims to shed light on this issue and propose ways to move forward. It explains Variation Theory in accessible language and provides numerous practical examples from classroom research across various subject areas. The book serves as a bridge between Variation Theory, Learning Study, and classroom practice.
