Lesson tweaks for deep, transferable learning

Webinar 1: Deep learning tweaks

Follow the links below to learn the theory behind the lesson tweaks, download the slides, or watch the recording:

 

Hattie's model of surface, deep, transfer learning

Learning strategies: a synthesis and conceptual model

1. Create curiosity

Intellectual curiosity is the third pillar of academic performance

2. Build models

Teaching about energy

3. Concrete preparation

Time for telling

4. Just-in-time skills

Ofsted Subject report series: science

Making learning whole (book)

5. Use analogies

Making science concepts meaningful to students

 

Webinar 2: Transferable learning tweaks

Follow the links below to learn the theory behind the lesson tweaks, download the slides, or watch the recording:

 

1. Set problem solving goals

Task-Centered Instructional Strategy

Impact of Explicit Failure and Success-driven Preparatory Activities on Learning

2. Teach problem-solving strategies

The contribution of cognitive and metacognitive strategy use to students' science achievement

Categorization and representation of physics problems by experts and novices

3. Build self-explanation skill

Eliciting Self-Explanations Improves Understanding

4. Differentiate scaffolding

When Problem-Solving Followed by Instruction Is Superior to the Traditional Tell-and-Practice Sequence

5. Assess with transfer tasks

A True Test: Toward More Authentic and Equitable Assessment
