Cognitive load theory, educational research, and instructional design: some food for thought

@marcxsmith @agittner @rjpritchard @robin_macp @colinsparkbridg As we would expect, aspects of CLT have been questioned by researchers. For those who are interested, here is an Open Access piece by one of them: https://t.co/aBa8hc8cxr

This 2010 article by de Jong outlines some issues with Cognitive Load Theory. https://t.co/xPUKuW1xfG

@impactology what you're describing sounds a little closer to cognitive load theory: https://t.co/UoER0RTG4L https://t.co/Wi0gFAU3y2

@Sue_Cowley https://t.co/yI8tFNv64s - covers important issues with the theory, one huge one being that although CLT specifically emphasises the importance of WM being *overloaded* the research looks at overall load. Thinking hard is reduced to 'germane loa

“The 3 main recommendations (of CLT) are: present material that aligns with the prior knowledge of the learner (intrinsic load), avoid non-essential/confusing information (extraneous load), & stimulate processes that lead to conceptually rich & dee

@matthewslocombe I think that's a fair point, but I'm not sure the take up of CLT by OFSTED and others is explained by the lack of serious and influential critiques. See for example Ton de Jong's open access paper in Instructional Science, which has 800+ c

Children with working memory issues often struggle in the classroom. Cognitive load theory is a powerful framework for empowering teachers to reach every child. Read more about it here: https://t.co/yAwnQtQrzI

@dodiscimus @MissNeutrino @ollie_lovell @P_A_Kirschner Critiques, a lot still relevant IMO. De Jong: https://t.co/ZtDnasypMj Schnotz & Kurschner: https://t.co/Kf2ImpYhH9 Have fun! 😎

Interesting for its general explanations and also for the discussion of problems defining types of cognitive load.
