Science of learning, in action

Over the past decades learning sciences made great progress in understanding how students recall, organise, and transfer knowledge. Some passionate and experienced teachers arrived intuitively to some of these techniques but by and large educational practice does not make use of research findings.
During this event we’ll think through two interrelated aspects of effective engagement: managing focus and effective processing:

step 1: Manage FOCUS

When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.
Maria Montessori

 

Attention is a critical factor in learning if only the first step. Supporting student learning means helping them stay on task so they are able to notice deeper patterns, make connections between ideas and integrate new knowledge. 

In online environments, both synchronous ( like during online conferences) and asynchronous (as with most homework)  passive attention may be harder to control while active attention is only a click away. Teachers cannot control every aspect of the interaction but they can certainly make it easier for students to engage with the material. 

During this event we will gather some of the most effective ways to help students focus.

step 2: Effective Processing

Practice yourself in little things; and thence proceed to greater.
Epictetus

 

Catching a student’s attention is necessary but not yet enough for learning. We need to give them the opportunity to practice in different ways and different contexts the newly acquired knowledge.  What kind of activities help students move information most efficiently from working memory to long term memory? 

Active Learning activities are crucial for this step: problem-based learning, group work, interactivity, participating and reflecting are some key tools. 

We will bring together some of the most effective ways for students to manipulate the information in ways that makes it more likely for them to remember and understand it.

True to the topic, it‘s engaging.
Mirana V.Professor
The workshop was good because it focused on education not only technology. Until now I felt like I missed a trick.
Richard S.Teacher
I enjoyed the speakers fantastic strategies and brilliant guidance.
Hussain M.
The methodology applied to build up the workshop environment can be applied in a virtual classroom too. It was very much inspiring to hear from other teachers how they faced with e-teaching. Christine and Lucian created a nice, interesting, positive climate which allowed participants to get involved easily into the debate.
Stefania A.Teacher
I understood that multiple intelligences make a good home with online learning activities
Mariana L.Professor
I loved being with teachers from so many other countries.
I enjoyed the pace, alert yet proper. The debate on those three principles from the science of learning.
