Brain Overload
Description
How much homework should school children be doing? It's a hot topic among kids, parents, and educators, but this video clip suggests that the problem needs to be reframed as an inquiry into quality rather than quantity. According to cognitive load theory, people can only process a minimal amount of new information during one sitting without overloading the brain. The clip explores how assignments can be better designed so students can learn more without putting in more time.
