Psychology of Education and Learning

Synopsis

Dear pedagogues, educators and education entrepreneurs,

Pedagogy, at its core, is the art of teaching, but at its most powerful, it is the science of transforming lives. Today's fast-paced and ever-changing world demands that we not only impart knowledge but also understand how human beings learn. This is where educational and learning psychology becomes not just a field of study, but our compass.

I'm reminded of a quote by Vygotsky: "The true direction of development of thought is not from the individual to society, but from society to the individual." He taught us that learning doesn't happen in isolation, but through interaction, dialogue, and mediation with others and the environment. And that's the foundation of this book. We won't just talk about theories; we'll explore how the mind of a student, whether a child in early childhood education or an adult in undergraduate studies, works.

This volume is not an academic treatise, but a practical guide for those who want to make a difference. Whether you are a teacher seeking to innovate in the classroom, an entrepreneur wanting to build a successful online course, or a school owner seeking to attract and retain students with a solid pedagogical approach, this book is for you. We will connect what Piaget called assimilation and accommodation with the development of an effective curriculum. We will connect Paulo Freire's concept of liberating education with the creation of a learning environment that engages and motivates.

In this book, theory meets practice, and learning psychology becomes a strategic tool. You'll learn how to create experiences that generate results, understand the different stages of development, apply inclusion and special education genuinely, and use new technologies in education to enhance the teaching process.

It's not just about understanding psychology, but applying it to build a pedagogy that generates value. Because, ultimately, the success of a school, a course, or any educational project is measured by the transformation it causes in people. And this transformation is only possible when we understand how the mind learns.

Let's go on this journey together.

Digital Earth - Cyber threats...

Sarah Katz

Digital Earth – Cyber threats, privacy and ethics in an age of paranoia
Whether it's the next big ransomware attack or cyber terrorism, digital threats have evolved drastically in recent years. Issues surrounding phishing, misinformation, cyber terrorism, physical security, and privacy continue to arise for both individual users and large enterprises.
With technology an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, we need to be aware of digital threats, and be able to identify other threats such as phishing, ransomware, and spyware before they can wreak havoc in our professional or personal lives.
This book discusses the most prevalent technological threats that we face today. It is an accessible guide that highlights the most common cyber attacks, and explores data ethics and privacy in an age where we hold so much of our PII (personally identifiable information) online.
It covers cyber threats such as phishing, disinformation versus misinformation in a post-COVID-19 world, cyber terrorism, and the power of social media, and analyzes ever-evolving privacy concerns in response to technological advances. For example, does the use of drones by law enforcement offer us complete security or raise questions around the privacy of citizens?
The book focuses on:

- The spike in phishing amid the COVID-19 pandemic
- Cyber terrorism
- The risks associated with social media
- Whether drones are a search-and-rescue solution or the all-seeing eye in the sky

The Great Upheaval - Higher...

Scott J. Van Pelt, Arthur Levine

In The Great Upheaval, Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt examine higher and postsecondary education to see how it has changed to become what it is today—and how it might be refitted for an uncertain future. 
 
 
 
Taking a unique historical, cross-industry perspective, Levine and Van Pelt perform a 360-degree survey of American higher education. Combining historical, trend, and comparative analysis of other business sectors, they ask 
 
 
 
● how much will colleges and universities change, what will change, and how will these changes occur? 
 
 
 
● will institutions of higher learning be able to adapt to the challenges they face, or will they be disrupted by them? 
 
 
 
● will the industrial model of higher education be repaired or replaced? 
 
 
 
● why is higher education more important than ever? 
 
 
 
The book is neither an attempt to advocate for a particular future direction nor a warning about that future. Rather, it looks objectively at the contexts in which higher education has operated—and will continue to operate. It also seeks to identify likely developments that will aid those involved in steering higher education forward, as well as the many millions of Americans who have a stake in its future.

The Invisible Machine - The...

MD Eugene Lipov, Jamie Mustard,...

Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body—invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable. 
 
 
 
Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment. 
 
  
 
Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.

Body of Knowledge Card Deck -...

Pat Ogden

Our bodies hold a wealth of knowledge that, with the right tools, we can tap into at any time. 
 
 
 
Our physical habits—of sensation, posture, and movement—reflect implicit knowledge of our histories of trauma, relationships, and resources, as well as our future possibilities. However, this wealth of information often eludes our awareness. The intention of the somatic practices in this card deck is to experientially illuminate the innate and unique knowledge that resides in our bodies, and to nurture a more deeply embodied connection with ourselves, others, and the world. 
 
 
 
The cards are divided into fifteen themes: ancestors and community, body connection, body sensation, boundaries, breath, containment, culture, five fundamental movements, grounding, mindfulness, movement, posture, the senses, positivity, resources, and the future. Our bodies have different lessons to teach us at different points in our lives, so listeners are encouraged to revisit these enlightening, somatic exercises time and again to glean new insights.
