Generative Learning in Action helps to answer the question: which activities can students carry out to create meaningful learning? It does this by considering how we, as teachers, can implement the eight strategies for generative learning set out in the work of Fiorella and Mayer in their seminal 2015 work Learning as a Generative Activity: Eight Learning Strategies that Promote Learning. At a time when a great deal of attention has been paid to the teaching and learning from the perspective of effective instruction, Generative Learning looks at the flip side of coin and considers what is happening in the minds of the learner. This book takes a teachers-eye view of a range of theories of learning and keeps their application to the classroom firmly in mind through the use of case studies and reference to day to day practice. Generative Learning in Action also discusses the key considerations and potential limitations of each of the strategies, as well as how you could implement these in your own practice and more widely across a school.

About the authors

Mark has been teaching Geography for nearly two decades in a range of different schools. He started in an inner city all girls school in Southampton before moving to an all boys Church of England school in Worthing. This was not as big a change as he was expecting.

He is currently head of geography and research lead at Heathfield Community College in East Sussex which gives him the perfect setting to put into place the ideas that he writes about. Over the years his teaching has become more informed by educational research and the excellent practice he has been lucky enough to see in his own department and when visiting other schools as an SLE and more recently as an ELE.

He is also a regular columnist for TES as well as writing his own blog Teachreal.Wordpress.com. You can also find him on twitter as @EnserMark. In the time that remains he enjoys running in the hills, reading and drinking coffee.

Zoe has been a teacher for over two decades starting her career in Harlow, Essex after working initially as a Learning Support Assistant. Zoe has worked in a variety of schools, many of which served disadvantaged communities, and she spent many years as a Head of English before becoming an Assistant Head Teacher with a responsibility for CPD and improving teaching and learning across the school.

She was the lead specialist advisor for English in Kent working with The Education People, an adviser for the Teacher Development Trust’s NPQ suite of qualifications and a regular contributor to educational publications such as TES, Secondary Teach and HWRK magazines. She is currently the lead HMI for Secondary English with Ofsted and a HMI for the South East region. She tweets @Greeborunner
