 Hello, everyone. I'm happy weekend something for the weekend perhaps even longer term, and I hope you're well Thanks for watching. I want to present 10 great research papers and huge abundance of educational research Easier to access and this resource which can download on after the video. I'll post the resource resource link As soon as I finish this live stream. It's signpost 10 I would suspect I'd be brave enough to say key educational pieces of research That have influenced me and the profession Particularly over the last 10 years and it's just going to help you with your own professional learning And school professional development so whether you're doing something for your own interests or for a master's degree or for a National professional qualification middle leadership or senior leadership these Should help so let me go through. I've got 10 here I'll go through the first five in greater depth and I will sign post the other five And so the first one is a new one. This was published By evidence-based education in June 2020 and what I like about this one Let me just put this slide a little bit bigger. There we go What I like about this one is it unpicks lot. It brings together lots of pieces of research and offers kind of for Components Understand create manage and present if we think about curriculum sequencing subject knowledge support creating a classroom to support learning and manage behavior and then activating all the curriculum content to a point where students can develop their metacognition and This brings it all into one place so they offer 17 elements And I think this research paper It's about 70 pages in total. I've already dipped in and out of it several times and I was lucky enough to kind of Proofread peer review this before it was published And it's something I keep coming back to and so you can have a little summary of this on my website The blog post is called the elements of great teaching and there's a bit of a kind of Heatmap or a 360 for all teachers regardless of how long you've been teaching And there's loads of recommendations in here for your own professional development And they're kind of the kind of key themes, you know, again, I'll mention that Understanding content so it looks at kind of research on curriculum and developing knowledge how to create a supportive environment How teachers can maximize opportunity to learn and how we can activate hard thinking from structuring explaining questioning Interaction embedding and activating so there's tons of stuff in here and it's probably my Favorite go-to resource at the moment. So that's number one number two Cognitive load theory and so this one here, you know, John Swell at 1988 It's not a theory of everything, but it is a theory on Cognitive load theory particularly in the context of problem solving Now again on my blog. I've done a summary this Beginners guide to cognitive load theory. A lot of people are talking about You know working memory, etc. So let me just give you a little synopsis if you're still new to this Short-term memory is your capacity to store Process information that working memories that manipulation You know where we can pro kind of manage lots of different Information the research I read says between three to nine pieces of information at once and Generally, we lose it 15 to 30 seconds afterwards so there's lots in here lots and lots and I know people watching this through at least Twitter channels Will be very familiar this but for teachers watching elsewhere outside the UK and in other social channels watching this Take a look at this. The paper is Quite heavy to get through so if you maybe return to my blog post Which is called a beginner's guide to cognitive load theory. You'll probably get Dare I say at least my opinion. I was gonna say more from it, but I doubt that but at least Take a look at it. If you're not familiar with the theory The third paper that I'll recommend here is Marge So the five principles for learning by Arthur Shimomura Now not a lot of people know about this, but it's been out for quite some time You can actually download the free e-book off his website So the link to this resource will take you there and there's a there's kind of five essential principles for learning which are promoted in this motivate attend relate Generate and evaluate which are the words my the acronym or the mnemonic Marge And I guess the central theme about this book is efficient learning and retention and how it depends on neural activity in Multiple areas of the brain. So a lot of things I've been reading research in is how do we strengthen the synapses? connections between two neurons to support long-term retention So if you're interested in the brain how we learn and how this might influence how you teach This might be a nice place to start. It's an easy book to read it's a free download and It's going to take your knowledge to a good position of understanding in my opinion So that's recommendation three Number four is cognitive apprenticeship again another piece of research from the early 1990s Talks about how we can transmit knowledge in the traditional sense Teaching as an apprenticeship where we want to move students from novice to expert We tend to follow the four models, which you might see advocated and Rosenstein model scaffold fade and coach And what this essentially emphasizes is trying to make learning visible so three strategies are supposed are Advocated the teacher or the student needs to identify the process of the task and make it visible So that abstract to concrete second recommendation to situate abstract tasks Into authentic context so that students understand the relevance to their work And then I guess the third one, you know vary the Very the diversity of the situations unarticulate them so that students can transfer so I guess you know My understanding of this particular recommendation is maybe competitions real-life Situations, you know Restoring a broken-down area of a local community and the students take part or someone real Comes into the classroom other than their teacher So if you're familiar also another piece of research not mentioned here is the hierarchy of audience by Ron Berger You know when we bring in other people that kind of heightens students Motivation with learning so there's another blog on my site called the hierarchy of audience Which is my own synopsis of another piece of research So there's tons and again with all of this Context you need to translate it to suit it back into your own classroom setting whether you're an early-years teacher or a teacher in a virtual school or a referral unit all of this was what makes teaching very interesting very challenging and Hard work for teachers because we need to translate all this knowledge Recommendation five desirable difficulties So we know that learning should be hard and to optimize learning and instruction requires us Maybe to go against our intuitions. I'm going very fast. I'm speaking to you remotely through a screen No, so we might want to deviate from standard instruction practices to help manage one's own learning a piece of research I'm going to put on Sunday Suggest to teach slow Okay, and this is interesting given at least the dialogue in some situations where Progress must be seen in a lesson in a one-off lesson and all those types of notions So watch out for that on Sunday morning when I kind of trump perhaps traditional lesson observations What purpose did they serve if we cannot evaluate the difference between learning? Versus performance and I think that's a challenge for us all and then to actually teach slower Retrieval spaced and distributed practice helps longer-term retention rather than cramming it all in and then through a school leadership Observation cycle trumps all of this research because we want to tick off everything on a checklist So there's loads. So you've got five really Good bits of research here to have a look at to keep you busy for a long time Not just for the weekend and a blog coming out on my site on Sunday the 4th of July When you can look at learning versus performance the other ones that I would cite in here Many of you will be familiar with Rosenstein But not everybody a lot of people are looking at this as a useful way to design a teaching and learning policy a lot My work today at least remotely through the pandemic But prior to also was looking at a lot of teaching and learning policies Haven't evolved my own through mark plant each and how this is influence schools Plus Rosenstein to come up with effective methodology This if you've not read number six read the original paper Translate it look at it. It's not a checklist for teaching. It's a route map and I guess trying to simplify this In an easier fashion rather than all the 17 principles put me in a corner and probably say model scaffold Fade and coach and I'm thinking about how is that one that might translate into the classroom in terms of your methodology And paper seven this is the one I'm blogging for Sunday. So look out for that learning versus performance So that's by Bjork and Sodastem, I think the surname is at number eight here. So when I give you the link this This paper by Hattie and typically is behind a paywall So if you send me a direct message, I'll send it to you anyway And then this one here improving learning Dunlowski et al. 2013 looking at all the different study techniques self Elaborations so on and so forth and then the last one can feedback improve teaching by professor Robert co here in England So they'll keep you busy for a long time The challenge for all our teachers and school leaders currently is we are distracted with COVID. It's exhausting We've been working flat out And all this research is available. It's been around for a long time. How do we translate it? To make it easier for teachers to access beyond the complicated language very detailed pieces of text How do we then apply this to our classroom? Given that research can only recommend not necessarily tell teachers what to do And this is the challenge for all teachers. So at least I think it might give you some food for thought I hope it's useful under the video once I finish I'll pin the resource you can download it and then either just go and search for these yourself or use my slide To hyperlink to the resources or share it with a colleague. Anyway, and thanks for watching Have a lovely weekend. I shall be in touch very soon. Bye for now
