Fiorella & Mayer's Generative Learning in Action

About this book

Generative Learning in Action helps to answer the question: which activities can students carry out to create meaningful learning? It does this by considering how we, as teachers, can implement the eight strategies for generative learning set out in the work of Fiorella and Mayer in their seminal 2015 work Learning as a Generative Activity: Eight Learning Strategies that Promote Learning. At a time when a great deal of attention has been paid to teaching and learning from the perspective of effective instruction, Generative Learning looks at the flip side of the coin and considers what is happening in the minds of the learner.
