Carl Hendrick is a teacher of 15 years classroom experience and is co-author of ‘How Learning Happens’ and holds a PhD in education. Paul and Carl will give a 60-minute presentation about how our brain works which will be followed by a 30-minute session where they’ll answer any and all questions that you may have.ĭr. What is the difference between biologically primary and secondary knowledge?.How do novices and experts learn differently?.What do I need to know about short v long term memory?.What is cognitive load theory and how can I use it to inform my teaching?.We explain why students learn some things almost effortlessly without instruction, while other things are learnt with great difficulty through instruction, how our memory works and how we can make it work better, how we (learn to) solve problems, how and why images and words together can help us learn better, and why children should not be taught as if they were small adults. In this webinar we will discuss the first section of our book ‘How Learning Happens’ looking at how our brains work and what that means for learning and teaching. As John Sweller noted “without an understanding of human cognitive architecture, instruction is blind”.
This (90 minute) session aims to give attendees a basic understanding of how the brain learns, drawing on important research from cognitive psychology.
How Learning Happens: How Does Our Brain Work? Please join us on Thursday 3 Jun, 16:30 – 18:00 (BST) where Paul and I will be giving a webinar on the first section of our book.
