Learning Habits: How to Develop Independent and Successful Learners
Autor Richard Wheadonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2026
Drawing on educational and psychological research, this book explores three key themes—how we learn, the challenges of thinking, and habit formation—providing a clear practical framework to help students develop more effective, lasting learning habits. It explains how students absorb and forget information, the limits of working memory, the importance of self-control, and how cognitive biases affect decision-making alongside strategies to foster critical thinking. Providing actionable guidance for supporting learning in school and at home, this book includes:
- Memorable stories of real experiences and case studies designed to create an emotional impact and help ideas about learning habits "stick" with readers
- Student-friendly demonstrations of scientific experiments which can be downloaded from www.routledge.com/9781041096382, showing surprising and counterintuitive aspects of how we learn, think, and form habits
- Chapter summaries, images, and a dedicated scenarios chapter to make the key messages easy to follow, revisit, and apply

Recenzii
Learning Habits by Richard Wheadon is timely, as it shifts the focus from teaching practice to student learning, thinking and habit formation. Wheadon shares his vast experiences, as a classroom teacher, leader and parent and combines this with an extensive evidence base. How can schools share the knowledge and insight from cognitive science with their students, parents and the wider school community? Wheadon helps to make this possible with practical advice, suggestions and scenarios.
