Translating the Science of Learning into Practice

Lynch School of Education & Human Development

The science of learning has a tremendous potential for enhancing educational outcomes and job performance. Yet findings obtained in laboratory settings are not easily replicated, expanded, and integrated into applied settings. This course will consider key issues to consider in translating learning science into practice across diverse contexts. Students will consider examples of how findings from the science of learning have been applied either successfully or unsuccessfully to practice in fields such as education, counseling, design, and business.
