Loved understanding 'learning and teaching' from a cognitive science perspective and methods for optimizing cognitive load for knowledge construction.

Hey!!!!! Ahhhh, I took so much away from this course, honestly hope I can access this course during my teaching for lesson ideas, really reflected how students absorb information and how I can have a positive effect on how students absorb information with presentation and otherwise, the pop culture references really made the concepts relatable, absorbable and easy to understand, my attached image reflects week 9s content between folk knowledge and scientific knowledge and takes influence from your approach Ellen, thanks so much Ellen and everyone, and have a great break !!!!!

Learning takes time and is at the mercy of our working memory. May as well work with what you've got!

This course has made me think considerably about teaching and reflect on my practice as an educator. It was so relevant and interesting. I am confident that it will make me a better practitioner and improve the learning experience for my students. My partner is a teacher too and he has been bleeding me for information as he finds it so interesting and useful too.

As an English teacher, the main thing I am taking away from this course is the effectiveness of worked examples for novice learners, particularly given the conventional practice of using discover-based approaches.

I have loved this course and have taken some great info out of it. It's been a game changer for me!
The differences in biologically secondary and primary knowledge has been insightful and allowed me to think about where to focus my teaching.
Additionally, the way in which the human cognitive architecture limits what, and how much, we learn has been a good reminder to ensure my lessons are focused around where my students are currently at.
Sorry, couldn't stop at one take away!

A great course - thanks Ellen!!

I am a total convert to signalling and writing headlines for my slides instead of headings.

Some discussion placing content in day to day contexts and finding time for story telling can be beneficial for establishing long term schema

Refreshing on CLT had been fantastic because of its relevance to everything involving teaching.
The main thing I am taking away from this course would be the cognitive architecture, how it operates, and how to use the pools of knowledge to inform my teaching.

My brain when presented with 5 elements of information to process at once!

On a more serious note, my biggest 'ah-ha' moment was learning that students will skip stages of a problem-solving process if it has become an automated schema. Often in primary school classrooms, we want students to explain everything with their working out and then we go and use ineffective formative assessment tasks that only measure content. How interesting to learn that seeing automation in action is a far better way of measuring a student's understanding 🤯👩‍🎓

I really enjoyed learning about cognitive architecture and learning. In particular, looking at some of the effects and the evidence behind them. Looking forward to linking this knowledge with motivation theory in the future.

This course has brought to light the importance of adjusting and adapting instructional methods according to students' level of knowledge. Learning about the variety of CLT effects has enabled me to understand how lessons can be transformed to effectively support skill acquisition, rather than continuing with traditionally used teaching strategies that do not efficiently support learning.

Couldn't resist, not at all sorry :)

Like a filing cabinet keeps information categorised, schema theory organises our knowledge and memories to make them easily accessible.  Keeping in mind the students prior knowledge and utilising the appropriate CL effects, may assist students in developing and building on schema, thus effective learning will take place.

I think the biggest thing I will take from this course is how important it is to make the limited capacity of the working memory at the forefront of my lesson planning.
