For many of us, school is reminiscent of boring classes, confusing assignments, and test anxiety. A place we entered with fear and tears and fled from there when we heard the last bell of joy. Why is school, with all its benefits, still not a pleasant and enjoyable place? Why do students not like to attend classes and lessons? Should learning be associated with hard work and discipline? In this book, Daniel Willingham, a cognitive scientist, seeks answers to such questions by examining the brain and human intelligence and cognitive functions. In his opinion, we should not think that our brain is basically made for thinking and it is good at this work. The human brain is a fugitive from thinking and naturally considers it an unpleasant task unless parts of this process can be adapted to the brain. Willingham brings the findings of cognitive science to the field of education and offers practical recommendations to improve the education process. In each chapter, while explaining the functions of the mind, he goes to one of the common educational problems: how should abstract ideas be explained? How to create a balance between teaching theoretical facts and skills? How to help slow learners? And most importantly, how can you make students learn with pleasure?
