Big Fish, Little Pond: How Class Rank Affects A level...

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/05/09

How do students choose A levels? There are all sorts of reasons that might influence a student’s A level choices such as enjoyment of a subject, parental influence, university requirements and in Psychology we talk about the therapy hypothesis - that students choose psychology to better understand themselves and possibly their own neurodivergence or mental health conditions. But the GCSE data in 2020 provided a unique opportunity to understand how much influence class rank (and potentially

Making the most of Videos as a teaching resource

Psychology in the Classroom ·

2023/05/02

We all use videos in teaching and the ability to embed them directly into powerpoints or just find a good link on Youtube has transformed our ability, as teachers, to bring learning to life. But passively consuming videos doesn't necessairly encourage long term learning. This week we look at research that considers how to make the most of videos to aid learning. Based on Fiorella, L. (2022) Learning by explaining after pauses in video lectures: Are provided visuals a scaffold or a crutch? Applied

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

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

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

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.

I hope you find it a useful introduction to metacognition and a spring board to thinkin about what it looks like in your classroom.
