Research School Network: Evidence in the Classroom: Modelling to Reveal the Expert Schema How can we make the implicit explicit?

Research evidence can enhance what we do in the classroom. In this webinar series we look at core components of classroom practice and ask how evidence can help us to enhance these classroom practices.

Modelling is an important element of developing student expertise. We reveal not only how to do something, but the thought processes behind it. Join Mark Miller, Director of Bradford Research School, to explore:

• The benefits and pitfalls of models, concrete examples and analogies
• How we build schemas: using and adding to students’ understanding of a topic.
• Managing working memory demands: making sure the explanations don’t overload our students’ working memories.
