Instructional Illusions
Autor Paul A. Kirschner, Carl Hendrick, Jim Healen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2025 – vârsta ani
Recomandăm Instructional Illusions ca o resursă esențială de referință profesională pentru cadrele didactice din învățământul preuniversitar și universitar, precum și pentru studenții de la facultățile de profil. Scrisă de o echipă de experți de calibru internațional, printre care Paul A. Kirschner și Carl Hendrick, această lucrare în limba engleză abordează o problemă critică: discrepanța dintre ceea ce credem că vedem în timpul orelor de curs și realitatea proceselor cognitive subiacente. Subliniem faptul că autorii nu se limitează la o critică teoretică, ci analizează zece iluzii specifice care pot compromite eficiența predării, oferind în schimb soluții fundamentate științific.
Stilul este unul riguros, dar aplicat, transformând concepte complexe din psihologia educațională în instrumente de lucru imediate. Cartea se înscrie organic în opera autorilor, fiind o extensie naturală a lucrărilor anterioare precum Urban Myths about Learning and Education sau How Learning Happens. Dacă acele volume stabileau fundamentele cercetării, Instructional Illusions se concentrează pe mecanismele de percepție greșită a succesului instrucțional.
Comparabil cu What if everything you knew about education was wrong de David Didau în ceea ce privește curajul de a chestiona intuiția pedagogică, volumul de față se distinge printr-o ancorare mai strânsă în designul instrucțional și știința cognitivă. De asemenea, este similar cu Beyond Buzzwords de Robert L. Jorczak în rigoarea cu care examinează conceptele ineficiente, însă aduce un plus de actualitate prin integrarea celor mai recente date din psihologia învățării. Suntem de părere că această sinteză de 112 pagini reușește să „demasce” natura reală a instruirii fără a sacrifica accesibilitatea.

Descriere
Recenzii
One of the greatest challenges of learning goes mostly unseen; we think we can tell when we (or others) are learning, but our perceptions are often wrong. This excellent, brief volume exposes the most common and pernicious of these errors, and describes how to correct them. Educators, parents, and students...get ready to be shocked, and then to learn!
Instructional Illusions by Paul Kirschner, Carl Hendrick, and Jim Heal is an entertaining and insightful antidote to many insidious misconceptions about how learning and instruction work that are currently infecting educational practice. If you are interested in how an evidence-based approach can improve education, this little volume belongs on your bookshelf.
A major purpose of all science is to free us from illusions. Our senses tell us the earth is flat, but science disabuses us of that illusion. The science of learning equally disabuses us of educational illusions, but we have not had a compendium that indicates the illusions and their correctives. Now we have such a compendium providing a historical marker indicating where we have been and where we are now. Given the previous work by these authors, we might expect a superbly written book. And that is exactly what we have.
This book is a boon for educators and students. The authors describe and illustrate conceptual roadblocks in teaching and learning that must be overcome to be successful. The illusions they describe so well are common ones that hinder education, and their recommendations for overcoming them will help learners and teachers. I highly recommend this book.
Teaching is perhaps the best known and least known profession. Since we have all been taught at some point in our lives, we presume to understand it. Having seen absurd portrayals in popular culture, we are inclined to think of it in terms of simplistic caricature. And knowing that it has been around for roughly time immemorial we tend to believe it consists of processes that can be understood by simple, sensible observation alone. None of this is true, of course, and the resulting misconceptions come at massive cost to students and society. At last, in the hands of Kirschner, Hendrick, and Heal, the most persistent illusions about classroom and cognition are ably and clearly laid to rest, replaced with a clear model of how learning works. Their book is a gift to educators (and those they educate) and should be on every teacher's bookshelf.
Instructional Illusions is a remarkable book that fuses scholarly depth with classroom practicality. Far more than a critique of educational fads, it celebrates the science of learning by making visible the core issues that truly drive student growth. With clarity, compelling stories, and humility, the authors lift the veil on deeply embedded misconceptions and guide us toward practices that have real impact. This is a gift to anyone serious about improving teaching and learning.
Anyone involved in education will find this book invaluable! Kirschner, Hendrick, and Heal show us how cognitive biases can undermine effective teaching, and they offer clear, evidence-based strategies to recognize and overcome these instructional illusions. Grounded in the science of learning, this book is filled with practical examples and actionable advice. It's also a great read!
Instructional Illusions is an important must-read for teachers, students, and parents. It offers practical, immediately useful information backed by first-rate, contemporary scholarship. It not only highlights common illusions experienced by students and educators but also explains that these illusions are perfectly normal and offers actionable solutions to "unmask" the illusions. It is an incredible achievement to distill cutting-edge research on the science of learning into practical recommendations and a brief, accessible format.
