| Abstract: |
The article focuses on how teachers' instructional decisions are shaped by their underlying understanding of how learning works and argues for the need to make learning science a core part of professional knowledge. Topics include the role of cognitive principles such as working memory limits and retrieval practice in guiding instruction and the gap between research on learning and teachers' current preparation and misconceptions. |
