Those organ sounds...
#TimsTwitterListeningParty
1. L Y F - Love You Forever. Voice acquired taste (I like it raw like that). Great bassline and rhythm....and organ #TimsTwitterListeningParty
2. Cave Song - reminds me how many rhythm changes they had. I never could understand what Ellery sang but it didn’t matter. Under the sound...the melody... #TimsTwitterListeningParty
3. Such a Sad Puppy Dog - no, I don’t really sing along, you just make the same primal sounds. That marching drum. Organ. A wall of sound in the second half. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
4. Summas bliss - I can only guess that it refers to summer, but the uptempo, ever tempo-changing guitar play, does invoke that image with me. Tempo changes. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
5. We Bros - check out the great video as well (version different from album though IIRC) - I sing ‘we bros you lost man’ etc. with my children. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
I loved the symbolism. The handkerchief. The symbol. The changing/multiple meaning.

WU - World Unite
LYF - Love You Forever / Lucifer Youth Foundation

6. Spitting Blood - also had a video I think
7. Dirt - the last video I think . Video lots of flashing images. Immense drums in beginning. I would say this is the most political song. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
I found the video very compelling. And the message ‘World Unite - Love You Forever’. And to ‘Go Tell Fire’. With images of people in revolt. I must admit I thought it was a disappointment they then broke up. Was that the ‘revolution’? #TimsTwitterListeningParty Image
8. Concrete Gold - together with Heavy Pop first ones I heard and bought (that 12” right). Second half different from first half. Bit Sigur Ros-y #TimsTwitterListeningParty Image
I think the pacing of this album is so good with the ‘hits’ (pun intended) with videos in the middle (We Bros, Spitting Blood, Dirt) #TimsTwitterListeningParty and atmospheric songs surrounding it...
9. 14 Crowns for me and Your Friends - for me this feels as winding down towards the end. Deep drums. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
10. Heavy Pop - this was the first song I heard from Wu Lyf. Slowly builds. Again has lots of tempo changes. I said I liked the pacing but I did feel this one did not belong at the end. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
That was a great listen. I think this album had a unique combination of guitar, vocals, organ sounds and especially rhythms (very danceable in many places..) - shame only one album. But it does make this one particularly unique. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

We've known it because unfortunately this is not really a 'new study' (maybe a few small changes) but yet another re-analysis of PISA 2012. All countries were already included by Caro et al. (2015) researchgate.net/publication/28… - also PISA 2015 sliced and diced to death.
So, we are talking about the same source and there's much to say about the scales (the casual way in which the paper equates scales reminds me of papers that declare inquiry, PBL, student-orientation all the same, when they're not).
(btw, here the link again ojs.ual.es/ojs/index.php/…)

It might be the case that it appeared in this quite unremarkable journal because it basically already had been done. One thing I would check is the within-country variance.

There have been quite a few people who did not seem up-to-date with decades of literature around online and blendec learning, but feel expert because of online learning during the pandemic.
And it’s not that it isn’t worthwhile to keep on studying the determinants of effective learning, it’s just that my sense is that there is a lot of reinventing the wheel. Take some of the OU stuff from ages ago with quizzes and more open answers….
…multiple choice quizzing with a bit of spacing imo then is rather underwhelming. Sure, sometimes things just take a ‘crisis’ (the pandemic in this case) to make a step change, but can Injust ask to read up on the history of online learning?

When on edutwitter some people don't want to talk about terminology, it isn't always because they have a good eye for 'obfuscation' and 'relevance', but because they need a 'persuasive definition' for their semantic sophistry.
Take the recent inquiry/explicit convos. For inquiry you need to be able to bunch all criticism together, so you can use it all interchangeably, and paint a field that uniformly fails.
With explicit instruction, direct instruction, Direct Instruction, Explicit Direct Instruction, despite wildly different with different evidence bases (many positive), you can then just talk about it as a coherent, clear, field...

Reading the Ofsted maths review a bit more. I really think the categorisation of knowledge is very limited with declarative, procedural and conditional knowledge. The latter is not used a lot afaik but is metacognitive and strategic in nature (but metacognition not mentioned).
With Rittle-Johnson et al’s (and others) work on procedural and conceptual knowledge, I especially find the omission or rephrasing of ‘conceptual’ notable. The word ‘conceptual’ appears in sevral places….
… in relation to ‘fluency’.
… in the table under ‘declarative’ as ‘relationships between facts’ (conceptual understanding)
… ‘develop further understanding through applying procedures’
… in a table under ‘procedural’

Ok, some thoughts on E.D.Hirsch’s latest book. To be honest, I’ve seen/heard 4 or 5 interviews with him so some of that might be mixed in.
Let me begin by saying that it’s quite clear that a desire for social justice really drives Hirsch. I seems passionate in both audio and writing. Several people, including himself, gave called this (last) book his most pronounced.
I can see that but I do think because of that some facts suffer. This is why I thought it wasn’t as good as ‘Why knowledge matters’ (I wrote bokhove.net/2017/02/17/hir… about that book).

When people discuss CLT effects I seldom hear them mention that Sweller et al. (2019) themselves call some 'compound effects', which he imo rather vaguely calls them 'not a simple effect' but 'an effect that alters the characteristics of other cognitive load effects' (p. 276).
Interestingly, compound effects 'frequently indicate the limits of other load effects.'. In other words, in some contexts effects that might be relevant, are not relevant any more because of such effects.
Five effects are deemed 'compound effects'. One of the 'old effects' is element interactivity, where there is a distinction between learning materials with high and low element interactivity (let me just say 'complexity of the materials').
