Title: Encouraging independent learning in psychology

It’s probably one of the few things most psychology teachers could agree upon - that we want young people to develop as independent learners. Insights from cognitive science have given us very clear and practical strategies that we want students to adopt but just telling them doesn’t seem to work! In this session I'll provide a useful theoretical framework that helps implement more meaningful change in our students, plus practical examples of how to implement it.

Title: Feedback to feedforward

Feedback is one of the most powerful tools we have for helping make students make progress in psychology. But sometimes students ignore it, or fail to action it in any meaningful way, at a significant cost to teacher workload. This session will frame feedback in psychology as a holistic process, one that happens before, during and after students complete a task, and consider the importance of teacher mental models and decision-making at each stage.
