Hela det här Rundabordssamtalet handlar om det som internationellt kallas the Science of Learning (SoL) och i Sverige kallar vi det ofta Undervisning på kognitionsvetenskaplig grund   Rundabordssamtalet spelades in live under konferensen researchEd Scandinavia 2026 i Haninge   I vårt samtal pratar vi om det övergripande gällande allt lärande, d.v.s. om SoL. Tillsammans med det samtalar vi om det u...

Without Checking for Understanding, instruction is blind. You can apply very effective evidence informed strategies, but you still ned to know what all your student grasp of the content during the lesson while it is being taught.   In this Roundtable you meet four international experts on Checking for Understanding. Interesting for you as listeners is also that they all have extensive classroom ex...

Both Reading and Writing are biologically secondary knowledge. That means we need to apply explicit instruction for our students to learn effectively. Both Reading and Writing are also complex which means high cognitive load, especially in the initial learning process.   So to be successful in teaching writing and reading it is really important that we are systematic, structured and apply evidence...

In today's talk you will experience two amazing guests. They are so interesting to listen to when they discuss and coreflect.

She is also co-creator of the world-renowned online course "Learning How to Learn" wit...

Det här avsnittet tipsar vi lärare och skolledare om möjligheterna med såväl Erasmusprojekt som eTwinningprojekt.   Många skolor jobbar redan såväl med Erasmus som eTwinning, men det här avsnittet är till nytta både för dig som redan jobbar med projekt av den här typen och för dig som ännu inte börjat, men är nyfiken och vill ha kloka tips och råd.   Dagens gäst - Emelie Hahn - är eTwinningambassa...

Det är ytterst sällan vi i den här podden har ett avsnitt som handlar om en bok. Det här är ett sällsynt undantag och det gör vi för att innehållet i den här boken är så starkt grundad i hur lärande sker eller det som internationellt brukar kallas the Science of Learning (SOL).   Boken handlar om ett så aktuellt område som om läsinlärning, vad forskningen säger om vad som fungerar samt konkreta oc...

Today's Roundtable started as an idea when I was talking to Kate Jones - a year ago - during the conference researchED Scandinavia in Haninge, Sweden. You could say that an idea became a dream a year ago. But after a long process of coordination that has now  led to today's Roundtable, where you as listener will have the privilege of listening to a Dream Team in the area of Feedback for Learning....

Every kid deserves the best math instruction possible! A key to that is that it is based on evidence. When we design such instruction it must be based on how learning happens, which means based on the Science of Learning (SOL).   To learn as much as possible about that, what can be better than having five of the very best international math experts on a panel= on this Roundtable.   All of our part...

Att utveckla elevernas läsförmåga är en helt central framgångsfaktor för studieframgång. Vår undervisning i skolan vinner helt naturligt på att vi genomför den grundat i hur lärande sker. AI berör oss alla och vi måste lära oss om och använda AI klokt.   I det här Rundabordssamtalet får vi vara med om ett initierat och engagerande samtal, som länkar ihop, relaterar och ger perspektiv på the Scienc...

In this conversation, you will listen to a unique panel of international experts in cognitive load theory including John Sweller himself.

John Sweller accompanied by Kate Jones, Nidhi Sachdeva, Greg Ashman and Ollie Lovell; what an...

Inclusive Practices at Their Best!  Roundtable on Explicit Instruction with Carl Hendrick, Nidhi Sachdeva, Nathaniel Swain, and Pritesh Raichura This episode brings together a powerhouse panel for a timely and essential conversation about explicit instruction—what it really is, what it isn’t, and why it matters for every learner. Join this dynamic, thought-provoking roundtable where four internati...

Today's talk is both very interesting and very important. It is about independence and freedom in the teachers' profession and about at the same time giving teachers tools that will help them.   So what is this all about? It is about how we best can help teachers and future teachers - currently in teacher training -  to get deep knowledge about How Learning Happens. That is an area that is called...

In this episode Nidhi Sachdeva and host Kennet Fröjd present to you highlights in the area of the Science of Learning and we have unpacked these highlights for the classroom.   These highlights are from a unique Roundtable on Working Memory, Cognitive Load Theory and Desirable Difficulties in episode 60 of this podcast. In that Roundtable you meet an amazing line up; Alan Baddeley, John Sweller, E...

What can you as a learner, a student, do to make your own learning more effective? Study Strategies is an important area with great potential to enhance learning. What, when and how can you do as a teacher to help your students learn and apply effective Study Strategies.

Professor Richard Ryan and Professor Edward Deci started to research and began to develop what is called "Self-Determination Theory" in the 1970s. It is a general theory with its base in the need of three identified Basic Psychological Needs; Competence, Relatedness and Autonomy.   In schools today we are working with challenges with our students' well-being and also with motivation. In this episo...

Dagens gäst står med en fot i forskning och med en fot i klassrummet. Det bidrar till att dagens gäst - Erik Winerö - är så bra på att prata om undervisning i klassrummet utifrån ett evidensinformerat perspektiv. Han är en erfaren lärare, som fortfarande undervisar i kombination med att han är doktorand i tillämpad IT mot utbildningsvetenskap. Erik har ett särskilt fokus på dagens ämne, som handla...

Dagens gäst - Ema Demir - är forskare på Handelshögskolan i Stockholm och Lektor i Stockholms stad. I det här avsnittet får du ta del av nyckelfaktorer att prioritera för att vända skolresultat.
