A Teaching Book Report: "Why Don't Students Like School?"

In this video I summarize what I've learned from Daniel T. Willingham's book "Why Don't Students Like School? A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What it Means for the Classroom"

00:00 Introduction
02:09 Chapter 1: "People are naturally curious, but we are not naturally good thinkers; unless the cognitive conditions are right, we will avoid thinking."
16:40 Chapter 2: "Factual knowledge must precede skill."
25:11 Chapter 3: "Memory is the residue of thought."
38:17 Chapter 4: "We understand new things in the context of what we already know, and most of what we know is concrete."
43:00 Chapter 5: "It is virtually impossible to become proficient at a mental task without extended practice."
47:53 Chapter 6: "Cognition early in training is fundamentally different from cognition late in training."
53:17 Chapter 7: "Children are more alike than different in terms of how they think and learn."
56:17 Chapter 8: "Children do differ in intelligence, but intelligence can be changed through sustained hard work."
1:04:15 Chapter 9: "Teaching, like any complex cognitive skill, must be practiced to be improved."
