In their 2nd Behaviour for Learning lecture Trainees have been exploring the psychology of behaviour and how that impacts children.

This graphic from Beacon House beaconhouse.org.uk/resources is a useful reminder that behaviour is a form of communication.

Dual coding pairs words and pictures so students get two ways of encoding the same idea, and that can boost recall and understanding big time. 📊

This gets to the heart of the problem of inserting AI into all aspects of research & education.What we 'gain' in speed we lose 100 fold in engagement, understanding & the ability to critically assess evidence.These are the core skills of research & to abandon them is foolhardy. #educationalresearch

And that is: asking a student to do a literature review isn’t really about the output, the final product. It’s about learning the process - assessing the quality of the evidence as you read it, learning how your question may evolve as you engage with the literature, learning how to spot SALIENCE 1/2
