Description:
Ever noticed that your students don't seem to retain most of what you share in a lecture? Ever noticed that even when it's wellcrafted and highly engaging, students seem to tune out at some point? It turns out there's a surprising scientific reason for this. It has nothing to do with our ability to convey information and everything to do with how much information students can handle at any given time. Our brains can only handle so much information. This is explained by something called Cognitive Load Theory. In this video, we go beyond just the lecture and into other areas of teaching to explore how to reduce cognitive load in the classroom.
