Von der hinteren Coverseite
Many of us have felt instinctively that boys and girls don't learn the same way or at the same rate. And in today's highly charged nationwide debate about how to improve our children's school performance, the difference between how boys and girls learn may be the key to advancing true educational reform. At last, we have the scientific evidence that documents the many biological gender differences that influence learning. For instance, girls talk sooner, develop better vocabularies, read better, and have better fine motor skills. Boys, on the other hand, have better auditory memory, are better at three-dimensional reasoning, are more prone to explore, and achieve greater abstract design ability after puberty. In this profoundly significant book, author Michael Gurian synthesizes the current knowledge and clearly demonstrates how this distinction in hard-wiring and socialized gender differences affects how boys and girls learn. Gurian presents a new way to educate our children based on brain science, neurological development, and chemical and hormonal disparities. The innovations presented in this book were applied in the classroom and developed during a two year study that Gurian and his colleagues conducted in six Missouri school districts.Boys and Girls Learn Differently! provides guidelines for brain-based innovations that will motivate and inspire everyone-teachers, parents, policymakers, and caretakers-interested in educating kids. The book shows why we must change our classroom strategy, and makes specific suggestions for new techniques that will provide equal educational opportunities, customized for gender difference. Gurian has developed a blueprint for creating the ultimate classroom by showing how to:? Set up and adapt learning environments that fit the different needs of both boys and girls? Apply specific, field-tested teaching techniques that accommodate the ways boys and girls learn differently? Identify teachers' strengths and weaknesses when educating boys and girls? Guide parents to support their children's efforts in using innovative gender based education.This pioneering resource is a touchstone for real and lasting educational change.
