It dismantles fallacies, clarifies doubts and presents evidence, through cognitive psychology studies, quotations, references, analysis and data, that the best learning process continues to be a demanding curriculum accompanied by exams and a good\u00a0<strong>textbook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The textbook has always been the elementary and necessary tool of any curriculum. \u201c<em>It is the embodiment of a study plan, articulated in an organized and sequential exposition of topics<\/em>,\u201d says Crato, while explaining that a textbook must be simple in its writing, precise in its description and rich in its pedagogical ambitions. The manual should avoid confusing or convoluted linguistic pretensions when the aim is to transmit knowledge. For instance, if it is necessary to repeat \u201capples\u201d four times to make a statement clear, this will be better than replacing it with \u201cfruit\u201d; reiteration when transferring clear concepts is welcome in a textbook. Likewise, it must be progressive, block upon block, knowledge upon knowledge, based on the fact that prior learning is what leads us to understand and assimilate new concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Crato\u2019s \u2018apology\u2019 also points to many other issues of extreme educational confusion. For example, he addresses the biased and so frequently distorted interpretation of the concept of \u201c<strong>meaningful learning<\/strong>\u201d, coined by the American psychologist\u00a0<strong>David P. Ausubel<\/strong>\u00a0which has been overly praised by competency-based pedagogy within the constructivist framework as \u2018the latest innovation\u2019. Crato explains that Ausubel, in describing the pedagogical controversies of his time, already stated in his 1963 book\u00a0<em>The Psychology of Meaningful Verbal Learning,<\/em>\u00a0that \u201cfor the past three decades, there has been an emphasis on project-based teaching, manipulative experiences, discovery and problem-solving.\u201d That is to say, this all dates back to the 1930s, according to Ausubel himself, who maintained that learning occurs by assimilating thought structures and concepts that have previously been transmitted to us. It is obvious that we cannot, no matter how much effort we put in, independently discover the law of gravity, nor can we easily achieve combustion by rubbing a couple of stones together&#8211; try it, if you must.<\/p>\n<p>The book also sets out some very useful cognitive principles for outlining the suitability of a good textbook \u2013 its writing, use and selection \u2013 and dismantles erroneous concepts such as\u00a0<strong>active learning<\/strong>, which in its constructivist version conveys the idea that listening to a teacher is a passive experience for students. Nothing could be further from Crato\u2019s intention. He states: \u201cWhen students really learn, even when merely listening to a teacher\u2019s presentation, they are active processors, not passive archivists, of the information being stored in their memory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a magnificent preface by\u00a0<strong>Francisco L\u00f3pez Rup\u00e9rez<\/strong>\u00a0and two splendid \u201c<em>intermezzos<\/em>\u201c, Nuno Crato\u2019s work draws us back to the need for structured, systematic knowledge in our schools. The author was not the architect of the best academic results of Portuguese students in vain, while he held the Ministry of Education and Science of his country, Portugal, from 2011 to 2015. He is a renowned international reference on education, and was recently appointed as a member of the French State\u2019s for National Education Scientific Council (CSEN).<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Interview with the author: <a href=\"https:\/\/educationalevidence.com\/en\/nuno-crato-textbooks-are-essential-for-good-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nuno Crato: \u201cTextbooks are essential for good training\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Title<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/narceaediciones.es\/es\/politica-educativa\/1656-apologia-del-libro-de-texto-9788427731967.html\"><em>Apolog\u00eda del libro de texto.
