With many distractions competing for students' attention, student engagement and knowledge retention are more important than ever. Where Learning Happens explores the types of attention--sustained, selective, divided, and effective--in depth and provides research-suggested strategies to maximize student attention and engagement. By understanding cognitive load theory, information-processing principles, and other key concepts, teachers can leverage attention-related strategies to help students achieve their academic goals.

  • Understand how to create a classroom atmosphere conducive to attention
  • Discover the role of technology and how students can interact productively without distraction
  • Learn the evolution of attention-related research and its practical applications
  • Bolster students' working memory with cognitive load theory, information-processing principles, and instructional design
