GSC Division C Fireside Chat: Turning Research Into Results: Handling the Complexity of Learning

Session Submission Type: Fireside Chat

Abstract

Dr. Richard Clark will share ways to overcome some of the challenges researchers face when they attempt to create a bridge between educational research and practice. In the spirit of the annual meeting theme, he will suggest that all educational researchers should not only produce studies but also attempt to translate and apply their research to make a positive difference in educational settings. Additionally, he will briefly describe his own effort to solve two problems that reflect the transition from research to practice: first, the impact of technology on instruction and learning, and second, the impact of various instructional methods on the design of instruction that facilitates the learning and transfer of complex knowledge as people develop advanced expertise.
