But that&#8217;s easier said than done. Many books about cognitive theory introduce radical but impractical theories, failing to make the connection to the classroom. In Small Teaching, James Lang presents a strategy for improving student learning with a series of modest but powerful changes that make a big difference\u2014many of which can be put into practice in a single class period. These strategies are designed to bridge the chasm between primary research and the classroom environment in a way that can be implemented by any faculty in any discipline, and even integrated into pre-existing teaching techniques. Learn, for example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How does one become good at retrieving knowledge from memory?<\/li>\n<li>How does making predictions now help us learn in the future?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>How do instructors instill fixed or growth mindsets in their students?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each chapter introduces a basic concept in cognitive theory, explains when and how it should be employed, and provides firm examples of how the intervention has been or could be used in a variety of disciplines. Small teaching techniques include brief classroom or online learning activities, one-time interventions, and small modifications in course design or communication with students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiley.com\/en-us\/Small+Teaching%3A+Everyday+Lessons+from+the+Science+of+Learning-p-9781118944493\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h4><i>\u201cIn a time when numerous books on college teaching appear each year, Lang\u2019s stands out for its ability to genuinely engage a wide audience of readers.
