Tes Podagogy Tes

Tes Podagogy is back with a new season and this week, we return to a 2019 episode with expert John Dunlosky to find out what works - and what doesn't - when it comes to revision.

Motivation matters: naturally, we all know this. It’s what drives us, as humans, to behave and act in a certain way. In schools, you’d struggle to find a teacher, or even a pupil, who would say that motivation doesn’t have a part to play in teaching and learning. 
However, up until recently the science behind motivation was a mystery to classroom teachers. Peps Mccrea, the dean of learning design at the Ambition Institute, and director of research and development at Steplab, has been a key player in this change.
In 2020, he published Motivation Teaching, a book which shifts through the science to bring educators practical advice about motivation. In this episode of Tes podagoy, Mccrea explains his findings, and shares the approaches to boosting motivation in your classroom.

In this episode of Tes Podagogy, Sarah-Jayne Blakemore talks about the developments in cognitive neuroscience research on the teenage brain - and how this should impact for teaching and learning.

In this week's Tes podgaogy, we're joined by Dominic Wyse, a professor of early childhood and primary education at UCL. He discusses his latest research on grammar, and how he believes teachers should approach writing.

In this episode of Tes Podagogy, leading behaviour researcher Linda Graham talks about productive and supportive discipline, and how it works in the classroom.

In this episode of Tes podagogy, we're joined by Mark Hardman, an associate professor at UCL. He discusses the importance of teacher agency, and how you can ensure you have it in your classroom
