Quick, what’s the capital of Australia? No Googling! (And no points if you’re Australian—that means the information is more meaningful to you, which means you’re more likely to know it). Did you get it? Or are you sure you learned it at some point, but forgot right around the time that you forgot how the Krebs cycle works? In his new book, Learn Better, author and education researcher Ulrich Boser digs into the neuroscience of learning and shows why it’s so hard to remember facts like that one.

The final quote from Charles Darwin, "it is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change," shows the future of education. Educators must prepare and inspire children to become lifelong learners. With skills and careers rapidly changing, people need to be able to adapt more readily than ever. With project-based learning, children can begin to solve problems on their own to become more independent learners and more adaptable to change. Thus, the strategies used would prepare students for their future in a rapidly changing society.

What do you really need to learn in life? How do you teach students to excel? What do successful learners do differently from others? What, in short, are their habits of mind?

Most of us assume it’s up to someone else—a teacher, administrator, employer—to measure how much we’ve learned. But when we do this, we lose something very valuable: our own educational narrative. We may remember which subjects we excelled in and which subjects we failed, or recall when and where we learned particular bits of information,... Read More

Pupils have to put a great deal of work into meeting exam criteria, and teachers have to make sure that their students pass each assignment. However, how do you fit in learning for the sake of learning? Jane Basnett of Downe House returns to IMS in order to discuss the virtues of learning to fail.
