Author(s):
Professor Graham Nuthall

Based on Nuthall's 40 years of research on learning and teaching, this book is written for classroom teachers and teachers of teachers. Nuthall set out to reveal the ‘hidden lives of learners’ and discover what pupils actually do in classrooms and how this affects what they learn - or don’t learn.

Nuttall reveals how little teachers - and everyone else – know about this hidden life, and that even in classrooms characterised by the happy buzz that apparently signals pupil engagement, little learning may be taking place. Exploring the three worlds that shape a pupil’s experience of learning - the public world of the teacher, the influential world of their peers, and the pupil’s own private world and experiences – Nuthall sets out an argument for the best ways to help pupils learn, and retain, information. 






In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
