Desirable difficulties with Jade Pearce and Isaac Moore: Mind the gap. Ep 77
On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Jade Pearce and Isaac Moore, co-authors of a new book, Bjork & Bjork's Desirable Difficulties in Action.
The four of them discuss what the term 'desirable difficulties' refers to and how using challenging pedagogical strategies can actually aid pupils' learning. This includes parts on spacing, interleaving, retrieval practice, independent study strategies, and more.
(Interleaving from 31 minutes) - This is explained by comparing it to a cheese board, which makes it clearer!
Also: Discriminative contrast hypothesis theory
