- Review
- "If education is to help students make sense of their surroundings and prepare them for the challenges of the technology-driven, internationally competitive world, it must be based on what we know about learning and teaching. This book offers valuable information to teachers, education policymakers and administrators, and curriculum developers - and to everyone who cares about effective learning."--Jacket.
