The Learning Challenge - concise

The Learning Challenge concise

This booklet is a concise edition of James Nottingham's book The Learning Challenge. With The Learning Challenge, learning becomes an engaging, stimulating, and collaborative effort between student and teacher. The Learning Pit is at the core of The Learning Challenge. You are in the Learning Pit when you have unresolved or conflicting ideas about what you are trying to understand. You are then experiencing cognitive conflict. By inviting students to step into the Learning Pit, you challenge them to achieve deep learning with the goal of developing meaningful, lasting insights.

A must-read for teachers who want to stimulate themselves and their students to step out of their comfort zone and develop an active 'growth mindset', with a focus on learning motivation and joy in the challenge of learning.
