Recenzii
"A Concise Guide to Improving Student Learning: Six Evidence-Based Principles and How to Apply Them offers educators at the college teaching levels specific ideas on how to apply theory to learning, and pairs a research-based book with a guide to advancing scholarship quality in higher education. Chapters are intended for faculty who want to engage their students, but have little time to study the process. Recent research findings are thus summarized, linked to college classroom applications and methods, and contrasted with teaching methods that have been used less successfully. Add in annotated bibliographies and citations and you have a fine guide educators will relish."
California Bookwatch
“In just a few dozen pages, this research-based book will inspire and help you to make your teaching more intentional, engaging, and effective. This concise guide synthesizes recent scholarship to provide practical advice that is accessible to everyone who teaches in higher education.”
Peter Felten
Assistant Provost for Teaching and Learning, Director, Center for Engaged Learning, and Professor of History, Elon University
“You have in your hand, in one, compact package, a primer, a detailed guidebook to becoming a more effective teacher. In just sixty pages of main text you will find rich morsels, insights, and wisdom about approaches to improving student learning. Professors Persellin and Daniels have combed over and reviewed the best ideas about effective teaching and learning, straining them down to six, straightforward principles.
What does this book do that is different from the other books about teaching and learning? Those of us who have ventured into the literature on teaching and learning know that, over the past two decades, it has become a discipline unto itself. The options and resources for improving one’s teaching sometime feel limitless and overwhelming, especially for faculty members who are busily engaged not only in teaching and service, but also in research and creative work. A Concise Guide reviews, condenses, and explains those theories and practices—allowing you, the reader, to efficiently and effectively engage with those ideas.”

"This is a valuable guide for college and university teachers of all levels of experience because it bridges the gap between what we know about students’ learning and how we teach. The book culls important research to offer up a concise set of evidence-based strategies teachers can put to use immediately to enhance students’ academic success."
Mary-Ann Winkelmes, Coordinator of Instructional Development and Research
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
"This book achieves several important goals. First, it is indeed concise. This is a major service to teachers. The literature is large and continually growing, but the authors succeed in bringing it all together in a highly practical and accessible way. There are three chapters which not only provide theory, but also a wide range of approaches and examples for achieving deeper learning, using action centered pedagogy, and assessing the outcomes. It will be of great use to experts in the disciplines who are asked to teach, but have little or no knowledge of learning theory and teaching methods (which is most of us.)"
