Switching it up: the cost of switching between tasks

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/03/30

When we switch between one task and another due to an interuption there is a cost. Whilst we may feel like we are managing we often underestimate the toll task-switching has on our time, productivity and wellbeing. In this episode we take a brief look at how we get interupted, the cost of those interuptions and the impact it has on learning, productivity and our wellbeing as a whole. Plus there is a great little experiment you can do so have a pen and paper ready. The book mentioned is Flow: the

Working Memory and Dual Coding

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/03/22

This week we really start to draw on previous episodes with the theory of Dual Coding. Key to this is Working Memory Model (for a image of this please use this link) which is covered here. This epsiode then discusses dual coding before extending to the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning proposed by Mayer (2002) and links it back to Schemas and Cognitive Load Theory (the links take you back to previous episodes). Finally we consider the EEF's review of the evidence and then the

Schemas and their role in learning

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/03/15

What exactly are schemas and why should teachers know about them? We learn about retrieval practice, metacognition, cognitive load, working memory and many other cognitive theories and underpinning pretty much all of them are schemas. It is the way that we theorise about how knowledge is stored in, linked and retrieved from long-term memory and so therefore we need to understand not only what they are but how to move our students from novice schema to expert schema. In this episode we will look

Performance Psychology with Matt Shaw

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/03/08

The links between sports psychology and education may not be immediately obvious but talking to Matt Shaw from InnerDrive clearly demonstrates just how interrelated these two areas are. Both sport and education require learning, need students to manage emotions especially during performance and aim to encourage behaviour change for many different reasons. Packed with top tips this is a really fascinating podcast. Matt mentions the InnerDrive Blogs: the sports blogs can be found here and the

Cognitive Load: Keep it simple in the classroom

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/03/01

This week's episode looks at Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) in detail, we have talked about it before with Bradley Busch but this delves into the original theory and how it has been researched more recently. With a good understanding of CLT and various other concepts that underpin it such as working memory and schemas teachers can transform learning in the classroom. We cover Sweller's 5 principles, different types of cognitive load and 14 things you could try in your classroom. The document

Interleaving: a useful learning strategy?

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/02/15

Interleaving is a concept that has been around in the pyschological literature for about 10 years, the findings are quite robust but there is a lot of confusion about exactly what interleaving is and how it should be used in the classroom. This episode we define what interleaving is and is not, the consider the research that underpins it as a concept and the theories as to why it might work and finally what exactly interleaving could look like in your classroom. There are two reviews that I mention

2023/02/08

Following on from last week Bradley Busch from InnerDrive talks about the importance of retrieval practice in learning and how it links to the broader landscape of learning through the development of schemas, how to develop effective questions, not to mention why students don't opt for retrieval practice in their revision. If you's like to listen to Bradley's other Psychology in the Classroom Podcasts you can hear them here: The Science of Learning or Cognitive Load. You can find out more about

Recall or Re-read? The research into retrieval practice

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/02/01

Many teachers understand the concept of retrieval practice in learning, in this week’s podcast we are looking back at some seminal research on this by Roediger and Karpicke (2006) that looks at how effective recall is over reading as a learning strategy, whether more retrieval practice means better learning and how good we are at judging how well we know stuff. Knowing this research has implications for our classroom practice, students revision techniques and the links to metacognition as well.

An Introduction to Metacognition

Psychology in the Classroom ·

I have been struggling to get my head around Metacognition and what it looks like in the classroom. In this episode I go right back to Flavell's 1979 paper where he outlines his ideas and discuss a variety of examples of metacognition in the classroom. I hope you find it a useful introduction to metacognition and a spring board to thinkin about what it looks like in your classroom.

Christmas Takeover 4 - Psychology and Sport

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/01/04

The final takeover podcast of the season comes from Will, Todd and Dan who, as you will hear, are all keen sports fans. Whilst the conversation is loosely linked to psychology it is great to hear young people's thoughts on the effects of crowds on performance, the issue of sport related violence and why it is so prevalent in football rather than other sports. It is great to eavesdrop on the conversation and as Will says sometimes this is the best way to learn! Psychology in the Classroom will be

Welcome to the next of the takeover podcasts about memory, music and Alzheimer’s from Effie from Bootham School. I am sure that for many of us there are songs that come on the radio and we are instantly transported back to a specific moment in time, a memory. There is something different about the way we store musical memories and this is what forms the basis of music therapy for patients with dementia. In this short podcast Effie takes us on a personal journey about the effect of Music on her
