Webinar overview - Creating webinar from Scratch

In this webinar we will explore three key evidence-based learning concepts that every teacher needs to know.

Together, we will explore:

  • Focused and Diffuse Modes of Thinking, what makes them important and their implications for teaching practice.
  • Declarative and Automatic (Procedural) Learning Systems, their role in memory formation and their impact on teaching and learning design.
  • How working memory functions and how to overcome its limitations.

You’ll gain an understanding of the latest evidence-based learning theories from the cognitive sciences.

Specifically, by attending this webinar, it is expected you will be able to:

  • Understand the latest theories on focused and diffuse modes of thinking, why they are important and how to leverage them in your teaching.
  • Recognise and explain the declarative and automatic (procedural) learning systems and their implications on learning design and your teaching practice.
  • Appreciate the limitations of working memory and understand how you can apply a key strategy to teach within its limitations.

 You can expect a webinar that unpacks each concept in a way that is both engaging and focused on its practical implications.

Key topics covered

  • Focused and Diffuse Modes of Thinking.
  • Declarative and Automatic (Procedural) Learning Systems
  • How working memory functions
