Instructional Illusions

By Paul Kirschner, Jim Heal, Carl Hendrick

So much of what happens in the process of learning and instruction is obscured from view. Much like the effects of a convincing illusion, what we think we see when we observe instruction is often far from the reality. Join three leading experts in the science of learning as they explore ten instructional illusions through the lens of educational psychology, cognitive science, and instructional design. Together, they will consider how such illusions operate, unmask their true nature in light of the evidence, and present powerful alternatives for authentic teaching and learning. Look beyond the illusion and reveal the true nature of instruction.
