In this episode of The Becoming Educated Podcast I speak with Dr Carl Hendrick about the science of learning.

The conversation delves into the intricacies of memory and its impact on learning and teaching. It explores the limitations of working memory, the importance of retrieval practice, and the role of schemas in organising knowledge.

The discussion emphasises effective teaching strategies that align with cognitive science principles, highlighting the need for explicit instruction and spaced learning to enhance retention and understanding in students.
