Description
How does the adult brain transform the world of experience into learning and knowing? Facilitating Learning with the Adult Brain in Mind describes how the brain works, and how to help adults learn, develop, and perform more effectively indiverse settings. Using stories, metaphors, and engaging illustrations to illuminate technical ideas, Taylor and Marienau synthesize relevant trends in neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind. For readers unfamiliar with current brain discoveries, the book is informative and easy to read. Neuroscience fans will find references to additional material and scientific journals that will supplement their existing knowledge. Practitioners will appreciate a fresh perspective on foundational theories of learning and development. The book also provides dozens of "brain-aware" approaches, contributed by an international group of experienced educators, trainers, coaches, and consultants. The authors demonstrate how embodied, analogical approaches to learning can cultivate in adults a greater capacity to deal meaningfully and effectively with the complexities of modern life. Taylor and Marienau also describe their own journey of integrating brain-aware facilitation into their professional practices. The book is an insightful, thought-provoking, conceptual and practical resource for anyone interested in how adult brains learn.
