☝️Dylan Wiliam said that Cognitive Load Theory is ‘the single most important thing for teachers to know’. This poster summarises some key ideas from CLT and offers 6 strategies to optimise instruction and maximise learning. 👊 REPOST and grab a free HQ copy here:

And it's 6-15 years younger than the top 3😂 - For all those who haven't read it: psycnet.apa.org/record/2006-06…

.Trisha Jha 🐻 was in the The Daily Telegraph this week with some thoughts on getting back to school in 2025. "Teachers can often have different 'mental models' about what good teaching looks like, but the evidence is fairly consistent about the importance of explicit teaching.

Contrary to bmcmededuc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… CLT doesn't emphasize any relationship between cognitive load and learning style. It didn't reference controlled studies such as this doi.org/10.1016/j.lind… nor realize that CLT refers to learning rather than performing domain-general tasks.

Queridos educadores. Recomiendo leer esta entrevista al gigante de la investigación educativa Paul Kirschner.

Más de 80 investigadores españoles impulsan un manifiesto a favor de una educación informada por la evidencia: elpais.com/educacion/2025…

Cognitive load theory is primarily related to and used for individual learning. Here's our (Jimmy Zambrano R., femke kirschner, John Sweller) open-access article on CLT and collaborative learning: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC64…

Podcasts and texts using conceptual change strategies can effectively dispel pedagogical misconceptions (i.e., learning styles) among pre-service teachers up to eight weeks post-intervention. doi.org/10.1016/j.lear…

A propósito del día del libro, este mes pude adquirir estos. Nada como leer en papel.

Combining generative & retrieval tasks boosts retention (vs. generative alone) and comprehension (vs. retrieval alone). No sequence effects, both work better than either task alone. The study here: Combining Generative Tasks and Retrieval Tasks doi.org/10.1037/edu000…

Seductive details—fun but irrelevant additions to learning texts—impair learning and transfer regardless of where they’re placed, grouped in one section or interspersed throughout the text. doi.org/10.1002/acp.70…

A more effective teaching? According to cognitive load theory, it depends on prior knowledge and task complexity. This meta-analysis reviews the expertise reversal effect: novices learn better with guidance and experts learn better with less guidance. doi.org/10.1016/j.lear…
