The learning science behind Mastering A&P

Pearson’s strategy for empowering learners starts with a deep understanding of the learning sciences: diverse, transdisciplinary fields that seek to understand how humans learn.

Using insights distilled from the learning sciences, we’ve arrived at a series of learning design principles that guide the creation of our products. These tenets have shaped the design of Mastering A&P — and they drive us as we continue to refine Mastering A&P in order to deliver even better learning outcomes.

Mastering A&P demonstrates three key learning design principles:

• Supporting factual and conceptual knowledge acquisition
• Customizing content through adaptivity
• Learning across multiple representations
