Boys and Girls Learn Differently! A Guide for Teachers and Parents: Revised 10th Anniversary Edition

Lýsing:
This book offers much-needed tools, based on scientific and psychological field research, that demonstrates the fundamental core differences in boys and girls learning styles, skills, strengths, and weakness, based upon specific ages of development. Boys and girls are both hard-wired and socialized differently, and consequently exhibit distinct gender differences. For example, girls talk sooner, develop better vocabularies, read better and have better fine motor skills.
Boys, on the other hand, have better auditory memory, three dimensional reasoning, are more prone to explore and learn more through direct action and kinetic movement then while sitting in a chair at a desk all day. This has profound implications on how classrooms are designed, built, and utilized, from Kindergarten to high school graduation. This new gender-based way to education our children is based on brain science, neurological development, and chemical and hormonal disparaties.
The innovations based on these discoveries were applied and proven successful in schools throughout the world. Major research and developmental advances have been made since the first edition of this book was published, particularly in the field of brain imaging that reveals exactly how boys and girls learn, and what's the difference. We now know much more about memory, vision, aural and kinetic experiences of the brain and how it influences the classroom.
Consequently this revised edition includes cutting edge tips and technique as well as examples from field trial from a broad variety of schools and settings. The book also tackles the thorny question of same-sex education, with Gurian recommending that during the middle school years -- seventh, eighth, and ninth grades particularly -- boys and girls can benefit greatly from being in single-sex classrooms.
