How the Special Needs Brain Learns
Autor David A. Sousaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mai 2016
Recomandăm această a treia ediție a lucrării How the Special Needs Brain Learns ca pe o resursă pragmatică, ce debutează cu o listă extinsă de strategii concrete de implementat în sala de clasă. Accentul cade pe componenta practică, oferind soluții pentru adaptarea instruirii în funcție de modul în care creierul elevului procesează informația. Structura cărții este organizată riguros, dedicând capitole individuale pentru ADHD, tulburările de spectru autist, dislexie și dificultățile în matematică sau scriere, facilitând astfel accesul rapid la intervenții specifice.
Notăm cu interes modul în care David A. Sousa integrează utilizarea tehnologiilor asistive, transformându-le dintr-un accesoriu într-un instrument esențial pentru eliminarea barierelor educaționale. Față de edițiile anterioare, acest volum recalibrează strategiile de diferențiere a instruirii, bazându-se pe cele mai noi date din neuroștiințe. Merită menționat că lucrarea completează organic seria autorului, făcând trecerea de la teoria generală din How the Brain Learns către aplicații nișate pentru nevoi speciale, similar abordării din How the Brain Learns Mathematics.
În peisajul literaturii de specialitate, acest titlu reprezintă o alternativă la Handbook of Learning Disabilities, Third Edition pentru cursurile de educație specială, având avantajul unei abordări mai accesibile, orientate spre practicianul de la catedră. În timp ce Handbook of Learning Disabilities, Third Edition oferă o perspectivă enciclopedică de cercetare, How the Special Needs Brain Learns se concentrează pe mecanismele neurologice ale învățării și pe traducerea acestora în metode pedagogice imediate. Progresia capitolelor, de la fundamentele creierului la tulburări emoționale și comportamentale, asigură o acoperire comprehensivă a curriculumului pentru incluziune.

Descriere scurtă
Recenzii
"Understanding how individuals learn…or why they may fail to learn…is an integral part of what makes teachers effective with students who have special learning needs as well as with those who don’t. Dr. Sousa’s text provides an easy-to-read explanation of both how the brain functions and how that functioning impacts the learning process. But it doesn’t stop there. Each chapter offers practical information, suggestions, or strategies that can be used to help struggling students learn."
"Understanding brain development is of critical importance to the field of education. Of all the books I have used, those written by David Sousa have been the most readable and understandable. The strategies included in this new edition of How the Special Needs Brain Learns can be easily carried out in the classroom. I think I have all that he has written regarding the brain."
"How the Special Needs Brain Learns, Third Edition provides key biological and neurological information for issues that I think many teachers attribute purely to attitude and will. By providing the specific neurological processes behind learning difficulties, Dr. Sousa gives teachers and teacher candidates a useful resource to understand and respond to challenges experienced by students with learning difficulties and special educational needs."
"A major strength of the third edition of How the Special Needs Brain Learns is that it clearly addresses all major areas of learning in which students with disabilities experience problems. The author has done an excellent job in balancing what we know about the brain and how this can be applied in the classroom. It bridges the field of neuroscience and education well!"
