#CognitiveLoadTheory
Advocates for CLT argue that their evidence base is broad and robust. It is neither. Research findings are “cherry-picked” to support particular beliefs about the correct way to teach.

Looking forward to sharing some of my work on #CognitiveLoadTheory and #Motivation at the University of New South Wales tomorrow! Fun for the whole (academic) family!

My growing understanding of #cognitiveloadtheory has allowed me to better support sts as they learn foundational skills and concepts across the curriculum. I have used a “sticky note” analogy to describe the temporary nature of working memory, but like this one from @mrzachg.bsky.social too! 1/2

I suppose I’m doing a kind of “differentiation” here.

But maybe you think I’m doing “adaptive teaching”.

Going back over things - my version of this song a few weeks ago wasn't really very good.

This paper critiques #CognitiveLoadTheory and argues that the learning brain is predictive, embodied, neuronally plastic, non-linear, dynamically self-organising, and inherently emotional. The critique of the critique below is also very interesting. 🧠🍥🤯

All humans learn the same way.

Cooney Horvath's book & @bonni208.bsky.social's modeling inspire me to #learnoutloud.
