Fröjd’s toolbox

Join a legendary roundtable featuring Alan Baddeley, a pioneer of the working memory model, and John Sweller, creator of Cognitive Load Theory. Elizabeth and Robert Bjork share insights on how desirable difficulties can enhance memory retention. John Hattie discusses making learning visible, while Nidhi Sachdeva connects research to classroom practice. The panel explores topics like motivation, testing effects, and adapting teaching strategies for diverse learners. It’s a fascinating blend of history and practical applications in the Science of Learning.

Patrice Bain has been a guest at Fröjd's Toolbox several times, and that is very natural because she has so much to contribute with from a teacher's perspective.   She has been working in her classroom with Cognitive Scientists for more than 15 years, and a specialty of hers - quite natural based on her unique experiences - is her ability to give concrete and clear guidance about classroom practice based on the Science of Learning.   She is especially skilled in retrieval practice that is an area of interest for every teacher to continue developing own classroom practice in.   She has now authored a book - this time more than ever from a teacher's perspective - called "Powerful Classrooms; Evidence-Informed Strategies and Resources".   Kontakt: frojdstoolbox@gmail.com musik: Andreas Lidberg

co-host: Eva Hartell, researcher at KTH This podcast episode was recorded with a live audience at researchED Scandinavia in Haninge, Sweden, Saturday March 15th.   AI is something all of us working in Education need to continuously learn more about and use wisely within Education.    In this Roundtable you will meet three international experts on AI in relation to Education and Learning. Together our three quests represent high technical knowledge in the area as well as high knowledge in relation to the Science of Learning and to teaching and teacher training.   To learn more about Benefits, Opportunities, Challenges, and Risks with AI in Education this podcast episode is an unique opportunity. Listening to this episode you will hear and can learn about many important perspectives through a dynamic and engaging conversation.   These three experts really have synergies. You will quickly understand what we mean when you listen to this episode.   Our three guests have all been on this podcast before, but now for the first time together. And this is a must listen to in an important area for all of us in education.   Our guests are: Dr Nidhi Sachdeva, professor Arnold Pears and professor Dylan Wiliam.   kontakt: Frojdstoolbox@gmail.com musik: Andreas Lidberg

This podcast episode was recorded with a live audience at researchED Scandinavia in Haninge, Sweden, Saturday March 15th.   This Roundtable has its focus on something that is crucial for teachers to know as much as possible about, and especially its implications for teaching and learning. The focus is on Working Memory in relation to Learning.   And our three guests are like a gold mine of knowledge in this area.    We have professor Alan Baddeley, truly a world leader in the area of Working Memory from a research perspective. He has researched about Working Memory for more than 50 years and is still active in further research to develop our knowledge about Working Memory. This podcast is a unique opportunity to learn from the best.    Together with him we have professor Daniel Willingham. He is an expert on evidence on how learning happens and the last decade he has made great contributions in translating the Science of Learning for the Education area He contributes with an unique ability to link what we know about the Working Memory to Education.    This Roundtable team's third member is Kate Jones. She is an international expert on the Science of Learning from a teacher's perspective and a teaching perspective.    Together our three amazing guests make a team that together really puts knowledge about Working Memory into perspectives of great value for every teacher and school leader.   kontakt: frojdstoolbox@gmail.com musik: Andreas Lidberg

Join education giants David Geary, known for his insights into mathematical cognition; John Sweller, the father of Cognitive Load Theory; Kate Jones, a former teacher passionate about evidence-based practice; and Dylan Wiliam, an expert on formative assessment. They dive into the differences between biologically primary and secondary knowledge, explore ways to manage cognitive load in classrooms, and share practical advice for teachers. Expect discussions on retrieval practice, math anxiety, and how cognitive science can transform teaching strategies.

Per Beggren är erfarenhet förstelärare, läroboksförfattare och fram till i våras mångårig ordförande för Sveriges MatematikLärarförening. Vid årets Matematikbiennal i Örebro prisades han för sina insatser med att sprida glädje i matematikundervisningen. Per bidrar i det här avsnittet med många intressanta reflektioner kring utveckling av lärandet i matematik hos oss här i Sverige.   musik: Andreas Lidberg kontakt: frojdstoolbox@gmail.com

Today's guest Nidhi Sachdeva is a Researcher and an Educational Technology Specialist. Some of her strongest specialties are Evidence-Informed Teaching and Learning. For the main groups of podcast listeners - teachers and school leaders - she has a very useful talent and skill. That is an unique ability to serve as a communicator between evidence and classroom practice.   kontakt: Frojdstoolbox@gmail.com musik: Andreas Lidberg

Dagens gäst står med en fot i forskning och med en fot i klassrummet. Det bidrar till att dagens gäst - Erik Winerö - är så bra på att prata om undervisning i klassrummet utifrån ett evidensinformerat perspektiv. Han är en erfaren lärare, som fortfarande undervisar i kombination med att han är doktorand i tillämpad IT mot utbildningsvetenskap. Erik har ett särskilt fokus på dagens ämne, som handlar om hur vi kan förhålla oss till och använda AI utifrån ett evidensbaserat perspektiv på våra skolor.   Musik: Andreas Lidberg Kontakt: Frojdstoolbox@gmail.com

Dagens gäst - Ema Demir - är forskare på Handelshögskolan i Stockholm och Lektor i Stockholms stad. I det här avsnittet får du ta del av nyckelfaktorer att prioritera för att vända skolresultat. Det finns gott om internationell forskning om vad som kännetecknar en framgångsrik skola. Men extra intressant i det här avsnittet är att det bygger på forskning om svenska skolor, d.v.s. vår egen skolmiljö. Det här avsnittet är naturligtvis extra intressant för skolledare på grundskolor, men det finns mycket intressant och matnyttigt för lärare och egentligen alla som jobbar i skolan.     Musik: Andreas Lidberg Kontakt: Frojdstoolbox@gmail.com
