The National Council of Teaching Quality did a study on what evidence informed, six different evidence informed techniques. They found out that almost all of them had less than one or two pages if they had that at all within the textbooks and within the courses that they had. So students aren't being taught what works. And that's possibly because their teachers weren't teaching what works. The romantic idea of a child should playfully learn everything is just complete utter male bovine excrement.
Join math professor, Anna Stokke, in conversation with Dr. Paul Kirschner, a renowned educational psychology researcher and speaker. This episode will be of interest to anyone involved in teaching, whether they work with children or adults, or simply have an interest in education.
Dr. Kirschner explains how we process information in our brains, and how this can be applied to improve teaching practices. He shares insights on effective teaching techniques such as spaced practice, scaffolding, the worked example effect, among others. Additionally, he dispels some common education myths and critiques teaching methods lacking research-based evidence.
