Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow p244. Our sense of expert intuition is valid when: the environment in which we develop our expertise is regular and. the impact of our decisions is quickly observable. So you can’t develop a valid sense of expert intuition when there is a lot going on, when change is frequent or when behaviour is not wellmanaged.

USING WORKED EXAMPLES TO REDUCE COGNITIVE LOAD IN PHYSICS The science of learning – cognitive load theory – has found the best way to to teach problem solving: worked examples. Hattie puts the effect size of worked examples at 0.57 – 7 months extra progress per year. When a teacher models how to solve a problem, she is giving the guidance that novice physicists need. WHY BAR-MODEL WORKS #2: REDUCING COGNITIVE LOAD She will struggle to learn because the overall cognitive load is too high. I believe this is a core barrier to learner success in science. Using a bar-model reduces the intrinsic load because it replaces un-mastered algebra with a visual representation. For example, you can reduce the intrinsic cognitive load of a latent heat/specific heat READING FOR LEARNING Convincing Evidence that Teacher Centred Instruction is More Effective Than Hands-On Pupil Centered Lessons.

ENQUIRY LEARNING IS A HOT ISSUE Since the summer, I have been in a friendly argument with colleagues from the world of primary science - especially those colleagues committed to enquiry learning. The prevailing (but not universal) view is that primary science is best taught with a strong element of enquiry learning. My own view has moderated - I initially thought CONTROL OF VARIABLES STRATEGY It’s an key tool in science reasoning. There is quite a lot of research showing that it is important – not just as ‘how science works’ knowledge, but because understanding CVS accelerates science learning. The paper I’m basing this post on is ‘The Importance of Being Able to Deal With Variables in Learning Science,’ by Bryant EXPLORING COMPARATIVE JUDGEMENT DATA WITH CHARTS Comparative Judgement (CJ) has transformed the way we assess writing at Paradigm Trust - we use it from key stage 1 to key stage 4 in English, RE, science, history and geography.

We are very good at assessing retrieval through multiple choice questions (MCQs): they are easy to write and quick to mark. These retrieval questions are useful - knowing stuff is important. But knowing stuff is only a route to more important aims of education: developing deeper thinking such as problem solving and creativity. Canwe
A SHORT BLOG ABOUT THE QUALITY OF A chemistry GCSE question CO(g) + 2 H2 ⇌ CH3OH(g) The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 250oC and a pressure of 100 atmospheres. The forward reaction is exothermic. Explain what happens to the yield of methanol if a temperature higher than 250oC is used.[2 marks} AQA June 2018 An answer you might be pleased to JUDGEMENT – READING FOR LEARNING Posts about judgement written by BenRogers. “Whenever we can replace human judgement by a formula, we should at least consider it.” JAMES CLERK MAXWELL AND THE SECOND GREAT UNIFICATION IN Newton unified physics and astronomy: this was the first great unification in physics. Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism - the second great unification. James Clerk Maxwell should be as well known as Newton. Newton has his three laws. Maxwell has four equations. We can understand Newton’s laws at high school, but wehave to wait
FRAYER MODEL FOR SCIENCE VOCABULARY About a month ago, my maths trainees taught me about Frayer diagrams: And then, 2 weeks ago, Alex Quigley wrote about them here. Frayer models are having a moment. Alex’s blog says most of what I wanted to say about them and their use for science vocabulary, but I wanted to add two things. First, MEASURING AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SCIENCE WRITING IN This post is part of a series - a symposium - on AfL. The previous posts are well referenced and the result of much thought. My contribution is more anecdotal and speculative. Part one of the series is by by Adam Boxer here. In it he sets the context of the following posts. Part two is by THREE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT REASONS FOR READING INSEE MORE ON READINGFORLEARNING.ORG USING WORKED EXAMPLES TO REDUCE COGNITIVE LOAD IN PHYSICS Learning how to solve problems is the key to becoming a physicist (here and here). The problem with problem solving is that you need to be pretty knowledgeable before you can make a good go at it. And we tend to teach new information and then put it into a problem in thesame lesson. This
JAPANESE PHYSICS TEXTBOOK In my last post, I translated (using Google Translate) the first page of a Japanese high school physics textbook (here). The translation isn't great (I wouldn't use it for teaching), but it is informative. Here is the imperfect translation of the text above.

“Whenever we can replace human judgement by a formula, we should at least consider it.”Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow p233. When you walk into a noisy classroom, do you know what to do? Can you tell quickly whether a pupil has misunderstood something and do you know how to fix the misunderstanding? You are an THE UNDER-GOVERNED CLASSROOM Competitive Control in The Classroom Back in April 2008, I left a well-managed, highly successful secondary school in East London. We wanted to move to a smaller city with the family and I’d found a job at a school outside Norwich. The Norwich school had just gone into special measures when IGAME THEORY
Posts about game theory written by BenRogers. I haven’t written about behaviour before as I didn’t have anything original to say. DEVELOPING BETTER DIAGRAMS FOR PROBLEM SOLVING This post about an approach to developing better diagrams for problem solving from Barbara Tversky's book: Minds in Motion. I've gone back to one of the original papers for details (Kessel and Tversky here). The principal they use is an empirical 'design lots and try them out' approach they call Production, Performance and Preference. The USING VISUAL EXPLANATIONS LEADS TO BETTER PERFORMANCE I have been listening to Barbara Tversky's wonderful new book: Mind in Motion, about the roots of thinking in the physical body. I think it is especially relevant for physics teachers. In her book, Tversky describes a study she carried out with Eliza Bobek called: Creating Visual Explanations Improves Learning (here). In the study, a CHARACTERISTICS OF SCIENCE VOCABULARY AND SOME CLASSROOM I'm really excited to be part of a sequence of blogs - a symposium - on writing in science coordinated by Pritesh Raichura. Pritesh started the sequence last week in his post (here). Ruth's post 'Sentences and the Web of Knowledge' (here). Targinder's post 'Writing Revolution Activities in Primary Science' (here). Jasper's post 'Writing inScience –
