Det är ytterst sällan vi i den här podden har ett avsnitt som handlar om en bok. Det här är ett sällsynt undantag och det gör vi för att innehållet i den här boken är så starkt grundad i hur lärande sker eller det som internationellt brukar kallas the Science of Learning (SOL). Boken handlar om ett så aktuellt område som om läsinlärning, vad forskningen säger om vad som fungerar samt konkreta och praktiska exempel på hur evidens kan omsättas i klassrumspraktik. Dagens gäster håller sig gärna till begreppet the Science of Reading, som ju helt enkelt bara är en del av SOL, men mer specifikt för läsning och skrivning. Gästerna i det här avsnittet heter Anna Eva Hallin och Linda Fälth. Anna Eva Hallin är logoped och forskare. Linda Fälth är professor i pedagogik och även specialpedagog. Tillsammans har de skrivit boken Tidig läsundervisning med ljudningsmetoden - Phonics på svenska. Boken rekommenderas varmt och boken har ett upplägg, som gör att den lämpar sig utomordentligt bra för en bokcirkel. https://www.sprakforskning.se/forskningsbloggen Kontakt: [email protected] Musik: Andreas Lidberg

Today's Roundtable started as an idea when I was talking to Kate Jones - a year ago - during the conference researchED Scandinavia in Haninge, Sweden. You could say that an idea became a dream a year ago. But after a long process of coordination that has now led to today's Roundtable, where you as listener will have the privilege of listening to a Dream Team in the area of Feedback for Learning. Everyone in today's panel are experts on feedback from many different perspectives and have written excellent books about feedback. Many of the books have feedback in the title and some books have formative assessment in the title, but include a lot to learn about feedback..

Every kid deserves the best math instruction possible! A key to that is that it is based on evidence. When we design such instruction it must be based on how learning happens, which means based on the Science of Learning (SOL). To learn as much as possible about that, what can be better than having five of the very best international math experts on a panel= on this Roundtable. All of our participants in today's Roundtable are doing a lot - in an international perspective - for the development of effective Math instruction based on the Science of Learning (SOL). Together with their expertise on math and on SOL they are important communicators on how evidence can be translated into effective classroom practice. Learn from and reflect based on listening to this unique conversation with five brilliant math minds. This means listening to a dynamic and unique Roundtable with Amanda VanDerHeyden, Anna Stokke, Barbara Oakley, Craig Barton and John Mighton. Musik: Andreas Lidberg Kontakt: [email protected]

Att utveckla elevernas läsförmåga är en helt central framgångsfaktor för studieframgång. Vår undervisning i skolan vinner helt naturligt på att vi genomför den grundat i hur lärande sker. AI berör oss alla och vi måste lära oss om och använda AI klokt. I det här Rundabordssamtalet får vi vara med om ett initierat och engagerande samtal, som länkar ihop, relaterar och ger perspektiv på the Science of Learning (SOL), the Science of Reading och AI. Och det blev möjligt tack vare att dagens panel består av en expert på vardera området, som dessutom har kunskaper om varandras områden. Experterna i dagens samtal är professor Linda Fälth (fokus läsning), professor Jonas Linderoth (fokus SOL) och Erik Winerö (fokus AI och lärande). Kontakt: [email protected] Musik: Andreas Lidberg

In this conversation, you will listen to a unique panel of international experts in cognitive load theory including John Sweller himself. Together with him, you will meet four experts with a unique ability to apply cognitive load theory (CLT) in the classroom and to support teachers in learning to do so. John Sweller accompanied by Kate Jones, Nidhi Sachdeva, Greg Ashman and Ollie Lovell; what an amazing panel for the topic for this Roundtable! This Roundtable is a valuable listen for every teacher and school leader. But as a listener, you will get the most out of the conversation if you have a basic understanding of cognitive architecture and the basics of cognitive load theory. Feel free to listen to episodes 56 and/or 60 of this podcast before or after this episode. Specifically, on CLT Effects – which today’s Roundtable is about – both Greg Ashman and Ollie Lovell have written books for teachers that are highly recommended and cover a number of the CLT effects in a very accessible way. https://fillingthepail.substack.com/ https://www.ollielovell.com/ https://www.katejoneseducation.com/ https://scienceoflearning.substack.com/ Kontakt: [email protected] Musik: Andreas Lidberg

Today's talk is both very interesting and very important. It is about independence and freedom in the teachers' profession and about at the same time giving teachers tools that will help them. So what is this all about? It is about how we best can help teachers and future teachers - currently in teacher training - to get deep knowledge about How Learning Happens. That is an area that is called the Science of Learning (SOL). What is both important and really interesting is that SOL is not competing with any teaching strategy. SOL is simply something you need to have knowledge in and adapt your teaching to. If you teach based on SOL you will have a lot of freedom in what you are doing in your classroom, and it will help you in a process with the focus on Learning rather than on Performance. A discussion about this needs to include Higher Education and also Elementary and Secondary Education. So we need participants in this talk with expertise in both evidence, SOL and Science Communication. In today's Roundtable we have an amazing line up! They are all SOL experts, they work in higher Education, and they are doing state of the art work in the area of Science Communication. Our panel today contributes through excellent podcasts, blogs, books, and more. In this Roundtable you will meet a brilliant international group of SOL-experts: Anna Stokke (the podcast "Chalk & Talk", special focus on Math) Megan Sumeracki (Author, Co-founder of "The Learning Scientists" - with podcast, blog, and more) Matthew Rhoads (SOL and Ed Tech consultant, podcaster, author, ...) Andreas Jemstedt (Expertise about SOL in relation to AI) Jonas Linderoth (SOL-communicator with a focus on modelling SOL both in Higher Education and in schools) Kontakt: [email protected] Musik: Andreas Lidberg

In this episode Nidhi Sachdeva and host Kennet Fröjd present to you highlights in the area of the Science of Learning and we have unpacked these highlights for the classroom. These highlights are from a unique Roundtable on Working Memory, Cognitive Load Theory and Desirable Difficulties in episode 60 of this podcast. In that Roundtable you meet an amazing line up; Alan Baddeley, John Sweller, Elizabeth and Robert Bjork, John Hattie and Nidhi Sachdeva. We hope and believe that you will find this episode “Highlights Unpacked” interesting and useful. We also hope that listening to this episode will make you go on and listen to the Roundtable (episode 60), that we believe is an episode that everyone working in schools should listen to if you haven’t done that already.

What can you as a learner, a student, do to make your own learning more effective? Study Strategies is an important area with great potential to enhance learning. What, when and how can you do as a teacher to help your students learn and apply effective Study Strategies. In this episode, you can learn and reflect through listening to a dynamic and interesting talk with four brilliant minds – and international experts – in this area. This Roundtable is really valuable for teachers and students, but also an important listen for school leaders. Kontakt: [email protected] Musik: Andreas Lidberg

Professor Richard Ryan and Professor Edward Deci started to research and began to develop what is called "Self-Determination Theory" in the 1970s. It is a general theory with its base in the need of three identified Basic Psychological Needs; Competence, Relatedness and Autonomy. In schools today we are working with challenges with our students' well-being and also with motivation. In this episode you will learn more about Self-Determination Theory and how it may help us working in Education more effectively manage some of our most important challenges. Listen to professor Ryan, reflect, talk to each other. We believe that we can learn from professor Ryan and Self-Determination Theory, and find a good way to combine it with the Science of Learning included in our school practice.

Our amazing group: Alan Baddeley, John Sweller, Elizabeth Bjork, Robert Bjork, John Hattie and Nidhi Sachdeva. In this Roundtable you will meet a group of brilliant minds and at the same time it is a magic meeting having legends in the areas of the Science of Learning talking together about their specialties. What can be better than Baddeley on Working Memory, Sweller on Cognitive Load Theory and the Bjorks on Desirable Difficulties. Add to that Hattie with Visible Learning or putting it all into context plus Sachdeva as an excellent communicator between evidence and classroom practice. Our participants let us learn about how each area developed. At the same time as you can learn a lot about what you can and should focus on you get the great and unique opportunity to learn about how each of these areas within the Science of Learning developed. So it was also an important bit of history of the area of the Science of Learning. Musik: Andreas Lidberg Kontakt: [email protected]

Patrice Bain has been a guest at Fröjd's Toolbox several times, and that is very natural because she has so much to contribute with from a teacher's perspective. She has been working in her classroom with Cognitive Scientists for more than 15 years, and a specialty of hers - quite natural based on her unique experiences - is her ability to give concrete and clear guidance about classroom practice based on the Science of Learning. She is especially skilled in retrieval practice that is an area of interest for every teacher to continue developing own classroom practice in. She has now authored a book - this time more than ever from a teacher's perspective - called "Powerful Classrooms; Evidence-Informed Strategies and Resources".
