Little updates 🥕
Review of 40 studies on learning from mistakes in examples → shows they help learning when errors are clearly explained and tasks match student ability
Study testing phone bans in classrooms → finds they modestly boost learning, esp. for struggling students (and foster acceptance of such policies)
Study testing blocked vs random vs adaptive interleaving → finds interleaving improves long-term learning, with no added benefit from adaptivity
Video interview with some of the biggest experts in education on the importance and role of knowledge in developing curricula for deep thinking
