We’re going to be talking about educational policy today, specifically around the growing Science of Learning movement in Australia, with Trisha Jha.
But first, I have a few announcements for you. Progressively Incorrect is coming to researchED Greenwich (USA) for a live recording of this podcast! I will be interviewing a panel consisting of Pedro De Bruyckere, Tom Sherrington, and Patrice Bain in the keynote space. I hope to see you there!
I also wanted to announce that John Catt Educational, which sponsors this
podcast, is hosting its Cognitive Science in Education Conference in May of 2024. I will be presenting on the science of effective explanations, and several friends of Progressively Incorrect are confirmed to present, such as Adam Boxer and Jade Pearce. John Catt Educational publishes some of the best books in education, including Jade Pearce’s latest book she’s co-authored with Isaac Moore, Desirable Difficulties in Action.
So, lots of things coming your way, but let’s get to this episode. Today we are going to be diving into two important Science of Learning policy documents that are being passed around social media lately, and which were authored by the always excellent, Trisha Jha. Trisha and I will talk about how romantic education often stands in opposition to key concepts from the science of learning, and what a small group of evidence-informed educators, like you and me, are doing about it. Let’s get to it, shall we?
