Introduction

Much effort has been put into closing the gap between research findings and the practical application of the findings. However, efficacious translation from science of learning research to education and policymaking continues to have challenges, made particularly pronounced when there is a lack of communication between researchers and practitioners. Additionally, despite continued efforts, concerns surrounding the feasibility of translating science of learning research findings into education contexts where there is a high degree of individual variation still remain unaddressed. This course will help students to evaluate existing interventions situated within the sphere of science of learning.

This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Mind, Brain, and Education
FlexiMasters in Mind, Brain, and Education

Learners need to complete any of the following three sets of courses to attain the Graduate Certificate in Mind, Brain, and Education (12 AU):

  • MSL901A, MSL901B, and MSL901C  OR MSL901
  • MSL904A, MSL904B, and MSL904C  OR MSL904
  • MSL906A, MSL906B, and MSL906C  OR MSL906
  • MSL907A, MSL907B, and MSL907C  OR MSL907

Upon completion of the fourth set of courses, learners will fulfil the AU requirements to attain the FlexiMasters in Mind, Brain, and Education (16 AU).

Through this course, participants will:
1. Demonstrate the ability to critically evaluate interventions with claims in the science of learning
2. Evaluate the translational efficacy of claims from various methodologies in science of learning research

Scope/ Syllabus:

1. Translational efficacy
2. Interventions grounded in science of learning theories
3. Identification of the role of individual variation and culture play in personalised education from a science of learning perspective

Recommended for teachers or working professionals in adult education sector.
