Lecture/Vortrag
Cognitive psychology has provided many insights into how people learn that can inform our teaching strategies. In this presentation I will review findings from the psychology of learning in five domains: memory (learning and remembering), transfer (using old concepts to solve new problems), deliberate practice and its critical role in transfer, experiential knowledge as a component of expertise, and the role (if any) of general strategic skills (problem-solving, critical thinking, reflection, etc.). In each area, I will begin with examples, review the evidence, then draw implications for more effective teaching.
