Getting to Got It! : Helping Struggling Students Learn How to Learn (LSS)

Betty K Garner

In this book, the author focuses on why students struggle and what teachers can do to help them become self-directed learners. Difficulty reading, remembering, paying attention, or following directions are not the reasons students fail but symptoms of the true problem: underdeveloped cognitive structures - the mental processes necessary to connect new information with prior knowledge; organize information into patterns and relationships; formulate rules that make information processing automatic, fast, and predictable; and abstract generalizable principles that allow them to transfer and apply learning. Each chapter focuses on a key cognitive structure and uses vivid, real life accounts to illustrate how learners construct meaning by using recognition memorization, conservation of constancy, classification, spatial orientation, temporal orientation, and metaphorical thinking. It's by helping students to be conscious of what their senses are telling them, encouraging them to visualize the information for processing, and then prompting them to ask questions and figure out solutions on their own that teachers can best help students develop the tools they need to make sense of information and experience learning as a dynamic process of creating and changing.
