Clip Context

  • “Applying Cognitive Science to Teaching and Learning,” a graduate course at the Harvard Graduate School of Education with 35 students enrolled. 
  • This course helps students understand and apply principles from research on learning and cognitive science that interact with designing instruction. Through a combination of lecture and several discussion configurations, students consider how their own teaching and learning experiences complement and/or complicate the material they study.
  • This clip comes about 45 minutes into the 3-hour class as Grotzer engages with two small groups who are discussing the experience of watching a video.
