Different perspective, same challenges

Abstract

I present a perspective on one of the most important challenges facing teaching and learning, in the Physical Sciences and many other disciplines. I argue that the challenge is less about finding novel ways to enhance student learning but ensuring a wider and more rapid take up of evidence-based approaches that have been convincingly shown through research studies to be effective in creating conditions for successful learning. I offer some advice to those engaged in supporting teaching and learning, from academic staff at the coalface, to institutional leaders and the HEA.
