Powerful Learning Podcast

This is a podcast about evidence-based teaching and the science of learning. I’m your host, Luke Rowe, and I’m a lecturer and learning scientist in Melbourne, Australia. I’m extremely passionate about the learning sciences and I started this podcast with the hope of sharing this passion with you! The motto here at Powerful Learning is also captured in the mission and that’s to help you know more, do more, and be more. As you listen to my podcasts, you’ll notice the scientific lens that I use is informed by three main areas of research:•The brain sciences – and in particular cognitive neuroscience•The psychological sciences – with special regard for cognitive science•And finally the educational sciences – where we begin to understand what it means to learn in the sociocultural context of classrooms, lecture theatres, sporting clubs, organisations, and other major learning environments. I use this transdisciplinary perspective because it complements my own training and expertise as a learning scientist and university educator. I’ll be drawing upon my experience and expertise to go on a learning adventure with you as we journey into topics such as feedback, metacognition, memory, intelligence, and motivation – and explore their broader implications for educators and students. The current plan is to post shows at least twice per month, and the hope is that at least one of those shows will involve inviting a guest to discuss their area of expertise. If you happen to have any comments, suggestions, or ideas, I welcome your feedback by either sharing your thoughts with me on Twitter, posting a comment in one of my YouTube clips, or following me on Instagram.I wish you all the best for your learning journey and hope you enjoy listening to the Powerful Learning Podcast.
