See CRICOS-registered alternativesThis subject explores the application of cognitive science to teaching and learning in contemporary school settings. It examines how research on memory, attention, and cognitive load informs effective classroom practice. Learners engage with strategies such as retrieval practice, spaced repetition, and dual coding to enhance knowledge retention and transfer. The subject highlights the role of prior knowledge in shaping new learning and the importance of scaffolding to support diverse student needs. Teachers will investigate how metacognition empowers students to monitor and regulate their own learning. A focus on working memory limitations guides discussion of instructional design, clarity, and reducing extraneous load. Learners also consider how motivation, feedback, and formative assessment interact with cognitive processes in school contexts. The subject integrates digital and multimodal tools while critically evaluating their impact on cognition. Case studies from primary and secondary classrooms illustrate practical applications of theory. By the end, students will connect cognitive science research with evidence-based pedagogy to improve outcomes for all learners.
