Great paper by @colinfoster77.bsky.social and colleagues on applying principles of cognitive science in mathematics curriculum design. Not surprised to read that "Research-based design principles derived from sanitised experimental situations can be difficult to implement in specific real instances"

The Curriculum Journal | BERA Journal | Wiley Online Library

There are increasingly frequent calls for school mathematics curricula to be informed by robust research evidence. One approach to achieving this is designing evidence-informed learning and teaching ...
