Applying Cognitive Science to Science Education – An Introduction (Carlow / Kilkenny)

February 6 @ 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Free

The newly formed committee of the ISTA Carlow / Kilkenny Branch is pleased to invite you to register for an event in Kilkenny Education Centre on Thursday Feb 6th 2025 at 7pm. As the branch has not held an in-person event in some time we are hopeful that we can meet our local ISTA members and get to know everyone again! Refreshments will be provided in what promises to be an entertaining evening.

We are delighted that ISTA Chairperson Humphrey Jones will visit to give a workshop entitled ‘Applying Cognitive Science to Science Education – An Introduction’. In the workshop, Humphrey will introduce the core concepts of the science of learning, the concepts that underpin it and the application of that science to teaching and learning in the classroom. Some of these include schema, retrieval practice, interleaving, cognitive load theory, Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction and more. He will also discuss some misconceptions and learning myths.

If any members from neighbouring branches are interested in attending please do so… it would be great if you could make it! Please click on the link below and fill in your contact details to register. Registration will close on the night of Friday 31st January. Thank you!
