Without any major spoilers, this EDCrocks episode covers a little bit of my opening talk for Macmillan Education's Global Teachers' Festival. I'll be talking about teaching from an evolutionary and scientific perspective as well as future trends
Tribute to Jean Piaget

Tribute to Jean Piaget

2022-07-3020:51

After a long hiatus, I'm back with a tribute to the great Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget. I talk about his main contributions, namely the stages of cognitive development, schema, and assimilation VS accommodation. I also question which concepts are more or less science-based. You can't miss this episode!
This episode celebrates EDCrocks one-year anniversary! How about that? I decided to devote it to the man, real or fictional, who inspired my book The Owl Factor: Reframing your Teaching Philosophy. You might have heard of him. His name was Socrates :) In this episode, I basically read one of the chapters of my book about how Socrates became popular in Athens, which events led him to his death, and why he's so present in science and education today.  If you want to purchase my book, click here to get the link. If you're based in Brazil, here's the link for you. 
This EDCrocks podcast episode honors two of my favorite scientists: Sir Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan. I decided to read my New Routes Magazine Cover Article entitled Learning Cosmos: A Voyage into the Learner's Universe. The Learning Cosmos conceptual framework brings together different learning principles and theories based on the cognitive sciences (psychology and neuroscience) literature into one illustration that resembles the universe: different spheres of influence, different levels of analysis. You can read more about it here and even download the PDF of New Routes Magazine
So I was stuck in traffic and decided to record a new episode. This fifth season is all about paying my respects to people who made a difference. This time I chose constructivism and two Italian educators.
EDCrocks Podcast starts its fifth season with an emotional episode. I decided to use this season to pay tribute to people who have made their contribution to education and ELT and the very first episode honors the memory of my father. He had absolutely nothing to do with our area but he was the one who insisted I learned English as a child and who told me so many stories as I grew up. Today is Father's Day in Brazil and I wanted to share a little bit about this man, Sven Åke Lennart Hedlund, my beloved dad who passed away in 2019.  This episode is also available as a blog post: http://edcrocks.com/2019/01/11/ode-to-viking-storytelling-as-a-powerful-learning-tool/
The thing about Accent

The thing about Accent

2021-08-0609:18

Your accent might define (in some people's minds) how well educated and qualified you are. However, people normally confuse things like pronunciation, accent, and teaching qualification. In this final episode, I go over the idea of native-speakerism and how we should celebrate our cultural diversity and embrace different accents.
How did humans manage to keep language alive for so many years before the invention of writing? Quite probably because of the oral tradition. Speaking in groups meant telling stories about things someone saw or dreamt of or even things they desired. In this episode, I think about the role of storytelling and how we should prioritize it in any educational setting
Focusing too much on grammatical rules might not be the best way to teach students to communicate effectively. However, grammar is essential and it gives users of any language a reference on how to make novel constructions. How should we address grammar then? In this episode, I reflect on a few things related to this issue.
The Importance of Play

The Importance of Play

2021-07-2707:07

As we grow older and progress through our educational system, we dedicate less and less time to something that has a fundamental role in how we develop: play. In this episode, I talk about the importance of play and why we should pay more attention to it.
Is there a more effective way to teach our students? Are there specific strategies that they can use that might help them learn better? The answer is YES. In this episode, I go over 3 evidence-based strategies discussed in an article I co-authored with Hall Houston published in the MindBrainEd Think Tank+: Retrieval Practice, Interleaving, and Spaced Repetition
Concurrent Classrooms

Concurrent Classrooms

2021-07-1811:37

Due to the pandemic, many schools have opted for a teaching modality that had basically been only used in higher education: concurrent classrooms. In this modality, both online and in-person students attend the same class at the same time. Is it effective? In episode 5, I discuss a few ideas about concurrent classrooms
Bilingualism

Bilingualism

2021-07-1810:47

Won't my kid get confused? Why can't they say anything in English when I ask? Doesn't bilingualism cause delays in development? These are common questions families and teachers ask about bilingualism. In episode 4, I try to answer some and go over other myths surrounding bilingualism
Ever noticed how big publishers normally adapt their materials to the Communicative Approach? You'll see that they promote the use of the PPP framework and lots of task-based learning. Is this, however, the best way to learn? Does it reach everyone? I wonder about these things in episode 3
How can assessment be more about learning and less about performance? In this second episode, I reflect on the role of more traditional types of assessment and how we can shift the paradigm to help our students learn more effectively
Learning Cosmos

Learning Cosmos

2021-07-0627:20

This new season is actually based on a crazy idea I had while driving almost 900km to pick up my wife. I decided to record a few videos on the road and talk about things I had been reflecting on. A few takes after, I decided to name the adventure Reflections on the Road. I managed to record 10 episodes and season 4 of EDCrocks Podcast is all about that. The very first and longest one is about my Learning Cosmos Conceptual Framework. Sit back and have fun!
This is the last episode of season 3 and it stresses the importance of using science as a candle in the dark. You must defend science and the scientific method at schools This episode is also available as a blog post: http://edcrocks.com/2020/11/29/the-importance-of-science-and-scientific-thinking-in-education/
This episode is actually a session I delivered at Gile4Youth Conference about some authors who have taught us that we need to go beyond cognition in order to understand how humans learn. I go over concepts like Self-Efficacy, Self-Regulation, Emotional Intelligence, Theory of Constructed Emotion, Growth Mindset and Grit and how we can integrate them into our curricula.
This episode is all about an article Hall Houston published with me in MindBrainEd Think Tanks + about three evidence-based strategies that you can use as a teacher (or even a student studying on your own) to learn more effectively. 
This was an unscripted episode about how some ideas from Harvard's Project Zero and John Hattie's Visible Learning can help you make sure your students are on task and on their way to learning more effectively
