Why is the applied pedagogy of teachers in classrooms even falling way behind the educational psychology and neuroscience research anyway in most of the world? It's been long known that things like active recall, spaced repetition, immediate application of knowledge, interleaved practice, and maximizing intrinsic motivation are the most effective ways to learn. There are even meta-analyses that outline each of these techniques effects and nuances. Shouldn't future policy build around what's proven to be effective and further figure out how to extend the effect sizes of such? Instead, we continue to go on education fads with vague terms and gur feeling much like some of the business management world (e.g. some people don't like "frameworks" such as Scrum when it comes to achieving objectives).
