"So often Ive been asked to recommend a starting text for educators interested in the workings of the mindnow I have one. The text Kirschner and Hendrick offer alongside each seminal article does a wonderful job of situating the content in the broader scientific context, and in the classroom."- Daniel Willingham, Professor of Psychology and Director of Graduate Studies, University of Virginia"As the volume of research into psychology and education grows, it becomes ever harder for researchers, let alone teachers, to keep up with the latest findings. Moreover, striking results often turn out to be difficult, or impossible to replicate.
