Have you spent untold time studying a chess idea and then found that you can’t remember it in a game? Education research, says Kevin Cripe, has found that optimal learning is based largely on the structure of problem sets and your brain’s ability to understand similarities and differences. In \u003ci\u003eThe Learning Spiral,\u003c\/i\u003e the author contends that you will actually absorb the game’s concepts faster with seemingly random but carefully selected puzzles than with traditional, step-by-step teaching techniques. The key is that this is closer to real-life chess play, where nobody tells you the “theme” of the position in front of you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith twenty-five years’ experience getting underprivileged kids to achieve beyond all expectations, Cripe now takes his holistic instructional methods to the chess arena. Designed for both chess novices and their coaches, \u003ci\u003eThe Learning Spiral\u003c\/i\u003e sets out the theory, explains how it works, and then applies it with more than 400 positions for the student to solve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo go ahead, analyze, differentiate and improve quickly!","brand":"Mongoose Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48684091179237,"sku":"NP9781936277889","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-learning-spiral-isbn-9781936277889","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
