Creative Teaching An EvidenceBased Approach Cognitive Science and Technology Dennis Sale 9789811012518 Books Reviews

• I am a polytechnic lecturer teaching electronic engineering in Singapore for 27 years, I enjoyed reading this book, this book pulls together the key research on human learning and how creativity in teaching actually works in practice. A must read for anyone interested in why some teaching professionals (teachers/lecturers) get much better results in terms of learning outcomes and their relationships with students. Written in an informal style with stories and humour that makes cognitive science really come alive.
• I had worked with Dennis for many years now, and I am really glad that he wrote this book! I enjoyed his clear (or should I say crisp) writing style, no-nonsense approach yet blended with a good dose of his East London humour. His book brings together different aspects of teaching that I wish I had access to when first converting from an engineer to an academic. The core principles of learning, along with ample real-world examples drawn form his vast teaching and consulting experience, bring together key concepts in cognitive science, pedagogy and evidence-based teaching that are easily understood by the layman. The coverage on creative teaching is also very refreshing and provide assurance that teaching, can indeed, be a creative endeavour without having to resort to gimmicky classroom antics. This book will be most useful for any lecturer who wants to improve his/her teaching, whether one is new to the profession or otherwise.
• I was able to obtain very helpful information and practical takeaways after reading this book. In my role as an educational technologist, much of my work revolves around providing faculty support in using technology to enhance teaching and learner attainment. The chapter on "The Heuristics of Effective Teaching" and the core principles of learning articulated in this chapter is especially helpful for me in this aspect, providing me with a good pedagogical frame as I conduct my edutech consultancy work and craft out technology-enabled solutions for faculty. The chapter on blended learning also provided good insights on how technology can be used to strategically and creatively enhance aspects of the learning process. This book is written in an informal style packed with plenty of examples and a good dose of humour that makes it an easy and rewarding read!
