The authors offer principles to follow in examining teachers' training content and its effectiveness, and to support the development of more efficient learning environments.
The work explains the concept of 'cognitive load' - the amount of information that can be processed in a learner's short-term memory at any one time - and discusses the three 'conditions' of cognitive load: intrinsic cognitive load (contained in the training goal(s)), extraneous cognitive load (information that is "nice to know" but not "need to know"), and germane cognitive load (information needed to support the training goal(s).)
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
