El citado "efecto placebo educativo" es una interesante idea sobre la que reflexionar.

Academic papers ask "Does X improve learning?" but schools need to know "Does X improve learning enough to justify its implementation costs compared to alternative Y?"

Not all wrong answers are equal. I used to think students just needed the right information to fix misconceptions but then I read the work of Michelene Chi🧵⬇️

The Jangle Fallacy: Same Idea, Different Name carlhendrick.substack.com/p/the-jangle...

My latest post - A tale of a thousand models It implies that robust intelligence does not require more accurate representations, but more diverse ways of being coupled to the world. harishsnotebook.wordpress.com/2025/07/11/a...

#TheEmbodiedMind quotes Lewontin (p.202): "Our central nervous system are not fitted to some absolute laws of nature, but to laws of nature operating within a framework created by our own sensuous activity. 1/3

#EduSky #UKEd Whether you call it 'thinking hard' or 'connecting to prior knowledge' the act of encoding/making meaning/ learning is still very loosely described. 'Building schema' fares no better. All other behavioural aspects are far more easily 'codified' (if you must).

#TheEmbodiedMind about evolution (p.196-197): "The view that we call evolution by natural drift can be articulated in four basic points: 1. The unit of evolution (at any level) is a network capable of a rich repertoire of self-organizing configurations. 1/5

#TheEmbodiedMind about Piaget's system (p.176): "The newborn infant is neither an objectivist nor an idealist; she has only her own activity, and even the simplest act of recognition of an object can be understood only in terms of her own activity. 1/3

I have just finished reading Difference Maker by Christian Moore-Anderson and would advise any Biology Teachers to give it a read. I have never been so convinced by the pedagogy within a book.

#UKEd #EduSky My annual reminder that the hierarchical model of schemas universally adopted in education circles, is not the only one. Remembering such theories are only 'simple stories' that may, or may not, help us understand cognition, here is an alternative by a formidable researcher.

#TheEmbodiedMind (p.164): "Our colored world is brought forth by complex processes of structural coupling. When these processes are altered, some forms of behaviour are no longer possible. One's behaviour changes as one learns to cope with new conditions and situations. 1/2

Are we all talking about the same thing when we talk about the "Science of Learning"? Researchers looked at 50 documents and found "43 unique definitions" of the Science of Learning. 👀 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #EduSky

The usual story is: the brain takes in information, represents it, and uses that representation to take action. But what if we’ve got it backwards? This week, I wrote a gentle intro to enactivism -- What if minds aren’t things we have but things we do? 🧪 suzitravis.substack.com/p/does-the-m...

& to show my openmindedness (😉), I acknowledge CLT over-claiming & welcome the development of a broader Cognitive Philosophy www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

#TheEmbodiedMind p.139: "an important and pervasive shift (...) shift requires that we move away from the idea of the world as independent and extrinsic to the idea of a world as inseparable from the structure of these processes of self-modification. 1/

#TheEmbodiedMind about #Connectionism (p.92): "...there are two major classes of learning methods currently being explored. 1/

#TheEmbodiedMind "...two widely acknowledge deficiences of cognitivism. The first is that symbolic information processing is based on sequential rules, applied on at a time. [...] a dramatic limitation when the task at hand requires large numbers of sequential operations" (p.86) 1/

"Body and mind can be brought together. We can develop habits in which body and mind are fully coordinated. The result is a mastery that is not only known to the individual meditator himself but that is visible to others"... 1/

Hace tiempo que deseo poder visualizar cuál es el panorama general de las ciencias cognitivas y, muy especialmente, adentrarme en el enactivismo 👀 Este fin de semana empecé por este libro 👇 Aun así, agradezco recomendaciones 🤗
