#rEdBrum great day today. Every session was excellent and I looking forward to the conversations I want to have with my colleagues on the back of it.

Buckle up, folks. This was a helluva week. And all of this is really important. My latest: www.karenvaites.org/p/the-latest...

@carlhendrick.substack.com führt über Simone Weil und andere Autorinnen und Autoren an ein Verständnis von Aufmerksamkeit heran, das über die üblichen Diskussionen um Aufmerksamkeit als “Tool” für bspw. Lernerfolg sowie Klagen über abnehmende Aufmerksamkeit hinausgeht, dies am Beispiel des Lesens. 👇

Great early message from @carlhendrick.substack.com at #REdBrum

Excellent points here by @carlhendrick.substack.com - well-worth engaging with. "Most studies I read on AI tutoring are dead on arrival. Not because they are badly designed, not because the researchers lack rigour, but because of the sheer velocity of change in the technology they claim to study."

Next Tuesday is our first BSU HE Reading Group discussion meeting of the new year, looking at something that's come up in different conversations recently. @carlhendrick.substack.com's post is our starting point to inform the group and explore and worth a read anyway.

NEW POST: Your Brain on Notifications: The Science of Fractured Attention. carlhendrick.substack.com/p/how-much-c...

I have reviewed 'The Digital Delusion' by Jared Cooney Horvath www.educationnext.org/latter-day-l...

We can't fit in any more than 700 people so, more than a month out from researchED Ballarat, we are sadly sold out. Experience shows that some people who have bought tickets will experience circumstances that mean they can't attend, so it's still worth registering for the waiting list.

Does retrieval practice still beat restudy when the exam really matters? In authentic high-stakes exam preparation, testing only improves later performance when it includes feedback, and even then it is no better than focused restudy in the short term. www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

I wanted to quote half of this piece from @carlhendrick.substack.com, a must-read for anyone who cares about learning and curriculum design. Two highlights here... Go read this! substack.com/home/post/p-...

But deep understanding is not embarrassingly parallel. It is painstakingly serial: built connection by connection, layer by layer, in a process that requires time, sequence, and the kind of integrative thinking that no algorithm yet replicates."

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

What is the number 1 thing schools are getting wrong in applying the science of learning? For me it's retrieval practice and this post attempts to say why: substacktools.com/sharex/5L00N...

Monthly round-up of the latest research on the science of learning: carlhendrick.substack.com/p/the-monthl...

A new low. Absolutely appalling.

What’s new in the science of learning? New research on spacing, practice, early instruction, and reading shows that durable learning emerges through delayed effects, structured practice, and well-organised knowledge, not ease or intuition. carlhendrick.substack.com/p/the-monthl...

Excellent Substack article by @carlhendrick.substack.com A good read for all those involved in Scotland’s Curriculum Improvement Cycle as there is always an overlap between curriculum making at a national level and curriculum making by teachers at a local level where pedagogy becomes intertwined.

"There is a peculiar cruelty embedded in much contemporary educational thinking... ideology over evidence"

”We created artificial environments for learning because the natural alternative; waiting for children to stumble upon the accumulated knowledge of civilisation; is absurd and cruel.“ @carlhendrick.substack.com #BlueLZ open.substack.com/pub/carlhend...

I've had issues with taking self-report questionnaires at face value in education for some time now. This study is just one example of how learning processes are frequently not available to the conscious awareness of learners & that we have to find more valid & reliable ways of gathering evidence

New study on cognitive load shows it's not a single, stable thing that students carry through a lesson. It rises, falls, peaks, and interacts with motivation. 1/4 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Die Schule ist, wie so vieles in unserem Leben, keine "natürliche Umgebung" und Lernen in Schulen ist kein "natürliches Lernen". Dafür gibt es gute Gründe, von denen @carlhendrick.substack.com hier einige wichtige zusammengestellt hat. 👇 #Lernen #BlueLZ #Schule
