Education Talk Radio

What actually makes learning happen? And in a world where AI can increasingly do the hard work for us, which parts of that work should students still do themselves?

John Hattie, the researcher behind Visible Learning, joins Education Talk Radio to explore what decades of research tell us about how students learn. He and host David Cicero discuss why struggle matters, why students need more than one strategy for learning, and why schools may spend too much time thinking about teaching and not enough about helping students understand the learning process itself.

The conversation also turns to AI—not simply whether schools should use it, but when students should use it, when they shouldn’t, and what happens when technology begins doing the thinking that produces learning in the first place.
