Title: The Translation of Cognitive Science to the Classroom: Reflections on the EEF Cognitive Science in the Classroom Review

Presenter: Tom Perry

Outline:

Dr Perry’s research and teaching are focused on the use of research and evidence to improve education policy and practice. Research led by Dr Perry has been cited widely and internationally including by UNESCO, a UK Parliament Briefing, the Young Lives International Study, FFT Education Datalab and Education Endowment Foundation newsletters, blogs, and a podcast.

In the first keynote session, Dr Perry will speak about applying cognitive science and how teachers can access, engage with and do research to improve practice. The EEF Cognitive Science review includes some helpful principles, but there is also a lot of thinking and work needed to get this into practice and avoid misapplication in classrooms.

Parallel Session 2D

Title: Bringing history to life in the classroom: An exploration of how the study of visual and aural artefacts can give voice to the forgotten and disenfranchised. ​ 

Presenter: Dr Alison Morgan

Outline:

Drawing on her extensive research into radical working-class culture of the Romantic period (1789-1832), Alison uses the Peterloo Massacre (1819) as a case study to explore how the visual and aural representations of historical events can give voice to those who are usually missing in dominant cultural narratives with the aim of increasing the relevance of and engagement with our collective past and present. Using feminist and historicist approaches, participants will examine the representations of gender and class in the sights and sounds of a seminal event in the history of democracy and consider how to adopt and adapt these approaches in the classroom.
