UNDERSTANDING EDUCATION seeks to reveal how learning takes place and why some children retain information and skills better than others. By going back to the basic tenets of education philosophy, planning and execution, it uncovers the reasons why schools are sometimes called 'hot houses' of information and students are not able to learn as they do on the outside. With a good understanding of how your child learns, you will then be able to unlock the truths behind motivation and drive and help your children excel in their learning. It will also help you construct better learning packages in which the planning, delivery and assessment work together to create more relevant and meaningful learning experiences for your children.
