The Sciences of Learning and the Practice of Teaching

Guy Claxton

This blog post by Guy Claxton provides a handy ‘crib-sheet’ outlining some areas of contention and misunderstanding around the Sciences of Learning and their impact on teaching practice. Claxton reminds educators that, in reality, the craft of teaching involves a ‘judicious and dynamic’ mixture of both explanation and exploration and that effective teachers are sensitive and responsive to a variety of factors that determine their pedagogical choices.
