How do you get a fourth-grader excited about history? How do you even begin to persuade high school students that mathematical functions are relevant to their everyday lives? In this volume, practical questions that confront every classroom teacher are addressed using the latest exciting research on cognition, teaching, and learning. How Students Learn: History, Mathematics, and Science in the Classroom builds on the discoveries detailed in the bestselling How People Learn. Now, these findings are presented in a way that teachers can use immediately, to revitalize their work in the classroom for even greater effectiveness. Organized for utility, the book explores how the principles of learning can be applied in teaching history, science, and math topics at three levels: elementary, middle, and high school. Leading educators explain in detail how they developed successful curricula and teaching approaches, presenting strategies that serve as models for curriculum development and classroom instruction. Their recounting of personal teaching experiences lends strength and warmth to this volume. The book explores the importance of balancing students' knowledge of historical fact against their understanding of concepts, such as change and cause, and their skills in assessing historical accounts. It discusses how to build straightforward science experiments into true understanding of scientific principles. And it shows how to overcome the difficulties in teaching math to generate real insight and reasoning in math students. It also features illustrated suggestions for classroom activities. How Students Learn offers a highly useful blend of principle and practice. It will be important not only to teachers, administrators, curriculum designers, and teacher educators, but also to parents and the larger community concerned about children's education.

Continually Reassessing Students Needs Insight from ELT tertiary
Even though ESP is not a new phenomenon in Indonesia, many teachers still face a lot of challenges in real classroom implementation and practices. Many scholars also have claimed that ESP is a part of ELT like General English (GE). Both have something in common but to some extent they also have differences. Therefore, the ESP pedagogy and approaches should also be treated differently from the pedagogy of other ELT types such as GE. This book hopefully provides some insight to teachers who need to shift between GE and ESP. The ideas of ESP are mostly derived from the research project conducted by the English Language Education Department under the supervision of Dwi Poedjiastutie and Laela Hikmah Nurbatra. These researches mainly focus on ESP teaching at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang under the auspice of the Language Centre. The research selected for this book covered a different range of ESP topics. In the first chapter of the book, the Poedjiastutie discusses the ESP teacher recruitment process at one of the universities in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the countries that had also been developing ESP projects in vocational schools, academies and universities. Many teachers of EFL make the transition to teach ESP because the number of students who need ESP learning is increasing from year to year. The curriculum and the pedagogy of the teaching institution need to adapt to the situation. When the curriculum fails to identify the need and the demand of ESP in this university, the ESP system needs serious attention since teachers is a central role in the education system.
