{"product_id":"new-priorities-for-teacher-training-douglas-brown-9781483661995","title":"New Priorities for Teacher Training and School Curriculum","description":"This book had its origins in 1948 when I realized just how profoundly unprepared I was to teach the underachieving students for whom I was responsible. I knew I was only \"going through the motions.\" Consequently I developed an interest in pedagogy, * and particularly in testing the effectiveness of its precepts in the classroom. My Putting Minds to Work, Brown (1972), was an attempt to describe the components of a pedagogy that would help teachers be better prepared. Its underlying theme was the need for greater teacher sophistication in communication. However, a comment by Resnik (1987) on the hiatus in pedagogy between motivation and cognition, led me to realize the potential of communication to bridge that gap. More recently I realized that the New Taxonomy of Marzano and Kendall (2007) enabled me to resolve a problem I had with the Bloom (1956) definition of intellectual ability that appeared so incompatible with current understanding of information processing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Explication of the interrelationships of communication, motivation, and cognition uncovered principles and practices of special significance for the teaching of students who are on the path of underachievement. I realized the insights gained from that perspective had general application, i.e., to all students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1483661997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781483661995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Douglas Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200728580351,"sku":"9781483661995","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_968fe924-3da5-49ed-9109-0694e2c7e13f.jpg?v=1756787702","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-priorities-for-teacher-training-douglas-brown-9781483661995","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
