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 just over an hour into the 3-hour class session as Grotzer wraps up the discussion with a mini-lecture before giving the students a break.
