The Science of Learning Reviews

It was genuinely one of the best presented INSEDs from an outside provider I have had since I joined the school in 2010. Three hour-long presentations and I didn't look at my watch once! I liked the interactive nature of it and how it got us to think. The presenters used humour and didn't talk down to us. Bear in mind I have had numerous presentations and INSEDs on retrieval practice, metacognition and cognitive load theory in my life it was good to still enjoy them even though I didn't learn much new (but that isn't your fault).

Useful to review some quite familiar ideas and have the research behind them explained and good practice reinforced.

We have been discussing the content e.g. like cold calling or metacognitive in majority staff training for past few years, and every time it's very surface/basic touch, we need more in depth training and how it would be helpful to apply to different types of students,

It will change and influence my teaching approach and help direct future pedagogic research.

interesting and lively

Really interesting and excellent delivery. Difficult to teach a large group of aged teachers who have seen and heard it all before

I really enjoyed it and found it very interesting and helpful.

Lots of interesting things to go away and think about further and access to additional research - very helpful.

Really engaging

Good session, felt I learnt a lot.
