93: Evidence-Informed Education (with Patti Shank)

The Thinking Practitioner

Whitney talks with education specialist Patti Shank on what the current research tells us about the most effective methods of learning. In Episode 17 Til and Whitney talked about how massage and manual therapists chart their own path of learning, so here we talk to an education expert to help us figure out more about what makes a good learning experience. Things we cover include:

• Common myths around learning, such as "learning styles"
• What makes a good video lesson?
• What is best done online vs. in the classroom?
• How important is feedback in the learning process?
• Is text better than video or vice versa?
• ...much more
