The Hidden Lives of Learners
The Hidden Lives of Learners takes the reader depp into the hitherto undiscovered world of the learner. It explores the three wrolds which together shape a students learning - the public world of the teacher, the highly influential world of peers, and the student's own private world and experiences. What becomes clear is that just because a teacher is teaching, does not mean the students are learning.
This book is the culmination of Professor Graham Nuthall's forty years of research on learning and teaching. It is written with classroom teachers and teachers of teaches in mind. But realising time was short and his life's work was laid out in learned papers for fellow researchers, he wrote this brief but powerful book for a much wider auidence as well; for all those seeking a better understanding of classroom learning.
This book can be purchased for $39.95 from the New Zealand Council of Educational Research. Website: http://www.nzcer.org.nz/, or email: sales@nzcer.org.nz .
