SummaryIn recent years much neurological and physiological research has shown that how we think determines our feelings, attitudes and motivation. The potential of the brain for learning, in neurological terms, is limitless.

The challenge facing teachers and learners is to translate what is now known and what is currently being researched about the brain into the development of approaches, which create optimal conditions for learning.

How we learn, rather than what we learn and teach will be examined along with practical ideas and structures for learning which can be used to raise the achievement of learners through a greater understanding of learning how to learn.
