Task design reading list in a short 🧵 thread 👍

I have been asked this a few times, most recently by @Baggiepr & I will have undoubtedly missed something. I can imagine that @MorgsEd will have further reading to add, however, these are my recommended reads regarding #TaskDesign

1/10 First up it’s the incredible @olicav. Focussed purely on my understanding of Dual Coding Theory & for building in icons to enhance meaning within concepts.

I have used the theory simplistically but I genuinely believe the rewards are plenty.

2/10 This one is more to do principles of clear instruction.

Going back to Rosenshines principles & the in action series by @teacherhead really helped me focus my teaching which in turn supported my development of purposeful tasks.

3/10 not long after my foray into Rosenshine & Dual Coding theory this epic collection of Graphic Organiser models was curated & released by @olicav & @MrGoodwin23

So many great educators sharing equally incredible ideas!

4/10 from the above👆I then explored this brilliant addition to the ‘In Action’ series by @MrGoodwin23, @Emma_Turner75 & @olicav

The Extended Mind Theory was a great addition to the series & a must if you’re considering effect #TaskDesign

5/10 naturally I was then drawn to read more of @anniemurphypaul’s incredible work.

So I went straight to The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain

6/10 I have used this model a number of times when considering the sequence & narrative within my lesson sequences but @arti_choke’s SOLIO Taxonomy is absolutely worth the time!

7/10 I then started to read around generative learning & the implications for effective task that supported making meaningful connections with their learning.

Enter ‘Fiorella & Mayer's Generative Learning in Action by @EnserMark & @greeborunner

8/10 a recent addition, this was a great read that helped me develop a model for successful lesson thinking which encourages a deeper understanding of subjects leading effective task design.

9/10 from here I would absolutely recommend getting a copy of @baronbedford’s Pupil Book Study!

It’s an incredible companion to develop a coherent & brilliant assessment model across the curriculum!

10/10 I will have likely forgotten many & the list is not exhaustive.

It ultimately is about how in which the research is implemented & how it develops your understanding.

However, for me these are my starting points ☺️ #Edutwitter #Education #TeacherTwitter
