How We Learn: Why Brains Learn Better Than Any Machine . . . for Now by Stanislas Dehaene
5.0
This book is divided into three main chapters: the definition of learning itself, how our brain works, and what it is described as the four pillars of learning (attention, active engagement, error feedback and consolidation), all with constant references to numerous researches in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, AI and educational sciences, that helps the reader to adopt optimal learning/teaching strategies that can be implemented in their daily life.
The human brain is, at least for now, the most wonderful and impressive machine that exists. But unfortunately, its potential can be easily affected because it severely depends on the environment in which it is developed and because sometimes it seems like educators, parents and society are not fully aware of this.
This book has very valuable information and it should be, like the author mentioned at the conclusion, that small step towards a global revision of teacher training programs, because now we know better tools that can helps us to build better learning paths.
I recommend this book not only to educators, but also to parents because they are the most important part of a child's development and also to any curious person who wants to learn more about their own learning processes and how to reach their brain's full potential.
