OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Understanding children's learning in the real world
This is a hybrid event.
The scientific method encourages us to isolate and test possible causes for behaviours one at a time. This leads to the creation of very rigorous but perhaps deceptively simple explanations of how learning is embedded in a complex real-world setting. In this talk, I will describe a series of work in which we have tried to move away from the well-controlled lab setting to more complex multi-sensory, multi-dimensional, and multi individual paradigms to address how children leverage different sources of information in parallel to achieve their learning goals. If time permits, I will also discuss lessons learnt from taking interventions developed in rigorous lab conditions into the real-word classrooms.
