The secret sauce of effective schooling
Hey ๐
Happy Thanksgiving yโall. This week, a geeky video on a concept I canโt pronounceโฆ
Big idea ๐
๐ For more, check out this paper exploring common features of the 5% most effective schools in the US, and this study looking at features of effective networks of schools in the US.
(Apols for the duff captions! I havenโt figured out how to do them properly yet ๐)
Little updates ๐ฅ
Paper on how examples affect learning โ suggests that unclear examples lead to not just more mistakes but also overconfidence (with bonus explainer thread from Prof Hendy).
Study testing a knowledge-rich literacy program in early years โ finds that it boosts vocabulary and domain knowledge (especially for those who start with stronger vocab).
Study double checking whether matching teaching style to learning preferences helps โ yet again, no.
Plus two papers on the effects of nature in education โ one demonstrating a significant positive link with creativity, and another showing positive effects on wellbeing (especially for girls) ๐ณ
