Learning Science and Adaptive Education

Personalised Learning Pathways may materially affect human capability, independence, confidence, safety and productivity. Poorly designed assistance can create hidden costs even where short-term output appears to improve.

8 canonical Subtopics in this Topic.

Personalised Learning Pathways

Personalised Learning Pathways examines the mechanisms, conditions and outcomes through which this factor shapes human cognition, learning, collaboration or sustainable performance

Adaptive Difficulty

Adaptive Difficulty examines the mechanisms, conditions and outcomes through which this factor shapes human cognition, learning, collaboration or sustainable performance in AI-supp

Learning Pace Optimisation

Learning Pace Optimisation examines the mechanisms, conditions and outcomes through which this factor shapes human cognition, learning, collaboration or sustainable performance in

Knowledge Retention

Knowledge Retention examines the mechanisms, conditions and outcomes through which this factor shapes human cognition, learning, collaboration or sustainable performance in AI-supp

Transfer of Learning

Transfer of Learning examines the mechanisms, conditions and outcomes through which this factor shapes human cognition, learning, collaboration or sustainable performance in AI-sup

Metacognitive Support

Metacognitive Support examines the mechanisms, conditions and outcomes through which this factor shapes human cognition, learning, collaboration or sustainable performance in AI-su

Feedback Timing

Feedback Timing examines the mechanisms, conditions and outcomes through which this factor shapes human cognition, learning, collaboration or sustainable performance in AI-supporte

Longitudinal Learning Progress

Longitudinal Learning Progress examines the mechanisms, conditions and outcomes through which this factor shapes human cognition, learning, collaboration or sustainable performance

Stories from Learning Science and Adaptive Education

Scenario narratives — not empirical findings.

Personalised Learning Pathways

Noah had already told the story three times before the appointment began. Practice and emerging evidence suggest that personalised learning pathways is a distinct determinant of outcomes within learning science and adapt

Adaptive Difficulty

The organisation could reach more people with automation, but Maya worried that reach was becoming a substitute for relationship. Practice and emerging evidence suggest that adaptive difficulty is a distinct determinant

Learning Pace Optimisation

The project began properly only when the community asked who had defined the problem, who would hold the data and who could stop the work. Practice and emerging evidence suggest that learning pace optimisation is a disti

Knowledge Retention

Day 19, 16:40. Lucas wrote one sentence in the margin of the protocol: “The improvement may not belong to the intervention.” Practice and emerging evidence suggest that knowledge retention is a distinct determinant of ou

Transfer of Learning

The lesson plan looked personalised on screen. In the classroom, Aroha saw that personalisation and understanding were not the same thing. Practice and emerging evidence suggest that transfer of learning is a distinct de

Metacognitive Support

At 8:10 on Monday morning, Jamal, the mature-age student, removed the word “successful” from the programme dashboard. Practice and emerging evidence suggest that metacognitive support is a distinct determinant of outcome

Feedback Timing

The headline dated five years from now called the programme a turning point. The smaller correction beneath it explained why that claim was premature. Practice and emerging evidence suggest that feedback timing is a dist

Longitudinal Learning Progress

The ward was not short of data. It was short of quiet moments in which somebody could decide what the data meant. Practice and emerging evidence suggest that longitudinal learning progress is a distinct determinant of ou
