Thinking Deeply about Primary Education

Variation Theory, DI and Cognitive Load Theory: Estranged siblings or rivals to the throne?


Listen Later

Episode 162: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Neil Almond as we explore the application of variation theory and the potential overlap with different areas/fields of education research. 

As part of the chat we discuss...

  • what variation theory is
  • whether it is possible to consider variation theory in isolation, 
  • where any potential overlap might occur
  • ...and much, much more.


    Whether you are new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this episode.
