2018 Education Research Highlights

2018 Education Research Highlights | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it
Researchers studied students’ brains as they learned and took another look at the marshmallow test, learning styles, and growth mindset.

 

Education research continues to remind us of the powerful impact teachers have on children. This impact is overwhelmingly positive—the studies we highlight here demonstrate specific ways in which teachers can or already do help students feel a sense of belonging in school and make gains in learning.

There are areas for improvement, though: Researchers have shown that different rates of suspensions and expulsions for black and white boys have more to do with adult perceptions of those kids than with their behaviors.

How To Teach Your Brain Something It Won’t Forget A Week Later

How To Teach Your Brain Something It Won’t Forget A Week Later | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

Of all the things you learned in school, chances are the right way to learn wasn’t one of them.

 

To make it through academic life, most of us opt for what psychologists call “massed practice,” better known as cramming: It’s Monday and your test is Friday, so you save studying for the night before. One four-hour session can nab you a passing grade, so why not?

 

Well, because that’s not how your brain likes to absorb information. You might remember enough to pass your exam the next day, but just a week or two later and the details will already be fuzzy, if not gone completely. Here’s how to do better.

CCM Consultancy's curator insight, January 21, 2018 12:52 AM

A four-hour marathon study session (or team meeting or conference presentation) demands a ton of sustained attention, the quality of which will inevitably dwindle the longer those periods last. It simply makes more sense, cognitively speaking, for teams to opt for small doses of high-quality learning–sessions lasting under an hour, with lots of discussion and participation–to make insights stick without taking up much time.
