#UKEd #EduSky Intro to Rethinking Cognitive Load Theory. Despite Sweller explaining the Transient Info Effect to be primary (Fröyd's Toolbox Episode 56), I notice its significance is still missing. Merlin Donald's evolutionary theory would rectify this blind spot.

This looks juicy and will, I'm sure, offer the more nuanced, finely-observed side of cognitive science, beyond the merely behavioural instantiation (that is temptingly simple to understand and convert into evaluation checklists).

Here's our a very condensed version! Situation: whole school alignment - gotta catch those lethal mutations! Theory: Rosenshine's Principles (+ others) Actions: Consistent use of The WalkThrus and codification Results: Significant improvement in consistency from Pre-school-Y6

The current use of the term "to land" is a poor way of capturing communication, as it stems from the notion that it's a one-way stream. One doesn't just lob a sentence or two 'over there' and hope it 'lands'. That is performance, not communication.

#EduSky #UKEd According to CLT, the diagram causes the Redundancy Effect because it doesn't add info than is in the text. But, as Larkin & Simon's 1987 paper found a diagram can be informationally equivalent but computationally asymmetric (easier to understand than the text). Update needed?

#UKEd #EduSky Coaching develops — as in team coaching. Business was there more than a decade ago (see J Britton's From One to Many: Best Practices for Team & Group Coaching). Make it less personal but more personally beneficial as common problems & new solutions emerge from the team.

#UKEd #EduSky Look what I found: my highlighted sentence from Jerome Bruner's 1971 Towards. Theory of Instruction. Tell me this isn't a germinal notion of cognitive load.

#UKEd #EduSky According to CLT's redundancy effect ("multiple sources of info can be understood separately"), the RHS diagram is not needed; causes overload in fact. But some learners need both. Larkin & Simon (1987) concluded that diagrams often are more computationally efficient. Use both.

#UKEd #EduSky Coaches help identify real classroom challenges by offering an additional perspective: observing where students are struggling, offering practical tools for visits, data and videos to build insight, test hunches and explore learning problems.

No, movement doesn't replace thinking. But it can hold information at no cognitive cost and to the benefit of retrieval.

oliver caviglioli @olicav.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

#UkEd #EduSky Modelling strategies (representation), breaking them down into chunks (decomposition) and adapting them (approximation) to suit different contexts is how expertise in teaching happens. Let @walkthrus.bsky.social RUs do a lot of this work.

oliver caviglioli @olicav.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

#UKEd #EduSky Our thinking and actions stem from what we see happening in the classroom. But what if we aren’t seeing clearly? This is where coaches offer an indispensable additional perspective.

#UKEd #EduSky In the Coaching WalkThrus book, @MattTeachCoach clarifies — really well — the nature & central role of mental models in developing the cognitive aspect of teaching.

#EduSky #UKEd Given that Richard Mayer asserts that we learn best with a combination of words and images, it's essential that we consider of the quality of execution. And none better to remind us than Clark & Lyons (in their 500+ page ultimate research compendium).

#UKEd #EduSky I'd say this is THE blog of the year. When real replication comes in education, hubris often follows. So, of course, strive to be evidence-informed but, please, a little less confidence & pride when describing one's practice. Bravo to @C_Hendrick.

#UKEd #EduSky We’re all humans, engaged in learning. Successful coaching is as dependent on a common model of learning as successful teaching. It helps illuminate struggles and offers insights to unblock habit change and confusion.

#UKEd #EduSky Coaching is difficult without a shared understanding of pedagogical techniques that solve learning problems. WalkThrus creates a common language to improve feedback and reduce miscommunication.

#UKEd #EduSky When lesson observations, co-constructed feedback and action planning, are all referenced to a common model of learning, teacher learning really shifts. Harness this power of alignment with WalkThrus.

#UKEd #EduSky SEND: it depends what you mean by student-centred. My interpretation of pupils in special settings is that material-to-be-learned is DAFT: disconnected, abstract, fast & transient. Offering pedagogical solutions that aren't designed to address this is itself a bit daft.

#UKEd #EduSky Beware the misuse of the term 'alignment', used to disguise rigid, consistent, high-fidelity uniformity, directed by decades-outdated Command-and-Control management systems.

#EduSky #UKEd Dave Gray is so great. I get his emails (of this type) every week, and each one gets me thinking and re-evaluating what I consider to be true and useful. His Visual Frameworks (100+) are brilliant. Take a look: visualframeworks.com

#UKEd #EduSky The Zwicky Box is, I think, one of the greatest insights of & tool for creativity. To start, it's very disappointing to see the mechanical nature of our thinking reduced to such humbling combinations. But, soon after, I see how it can contribute marvellously to greater complexity
