LEARNING INTELLIGENCE by Michael Shayer
Describes how children's general ability to process information - their intelligence - can be significantly improved by appropriate cognitive acceleration methods.
"This publication can re-enthuse the teaching profession and in the process make the classroom a much better place for all involvedMany education authorities have recognised this and are using Cognitive Acceleration projects not only to enhance but also to provide highly effective professional development for their teaching staff. One word of caution to teachers contemplating reading this book: CA can seriously affect your career!"-Alan Edmiston, Advisory Teacher for Sunderland LEA and Independent Consultant.
Michael Shayer is Professor of Applied Psychology at King's College London. He met the '12 year gap' (between the best and the worst of entrants to secondary school) full in the face in Peckham in the mid-60s, and has tried his best ever since, first to understand it and then to change it.
Philip Adey is Professor of Cognition, Science, and Education at King's College London. He started his professional life as a chemistry teacher but soon became interested in the issue of 'difficulty': why did some students find some concepts more difficult than others, and what can be done about it. The present book is his most recent contribution towards an answer to this problem.
