What does science reveal about how people actually learn?
Learning is one of the most important things human beings do—but it's also widely misunderstood. Popular culture is filled with myths, trends, and folk wisdom about teaching and learning, much of it unsupported by research.
In The Science of Learning, Dr. Keith Sawyer talks with leading researchers about memory, attention, creativity, collaboration, technology, teaching, and human development. The podcast explores what evidence-based research reveals about how people learn, and how learning environments can be designed more effectively.
This show is for anyone who wants to learn—and anyone who wants to help others learn: teachers, students, parents, designers, developers, leaders, and lifelong learners.
The Science of Learning is produced and hosted by Keith Sawyer, Morgan Distinguished Professor of Educational Innovations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and editor of The Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences.
