Powerful Learning Podcast
This is a podcast about evidence-based teaching and the science of learning. I’m your host, Luke Rowe, and I’m a lecturer and learning scientist in Melbourne, Australia. I’m extremely passionate about the education and the learning sciences, and I started this podcast with the hope of sharing this passion with you! The mission here at Powerful Learning is to help you know more, do more, and be more. Come join me and my guests on a learning journey into topics such as feedback, metacognition, memory, intelligence, health and wellbeing, emerging and established educational technologies, and motivation – as we explore their broader implications for educators and students. The current plan is to post shows at least once per month. If you have any comments, suggestions, or ideas, I welcome your feedback by sending me a DM on Twitter / X, posting a comment in one of my YouTube clips, or following me on Instagram. May you enjoy listening to the Powerful Learning Podcast!

Rethinking How We Learn: The Power of Deep and Meaningful Learning
Join me on another learning adventure by rethinking how we learn. We'll investigate some extremely powerful theories and techniques about the brain and the science of learning. Discover Friston's Bayesian Brain, Ausubel’s Meaningful Learning, and Craik and Lockhart's Levels of Processing theories can transform your understanding and enhance your learning experience. Learn the importance of storytelling, deep questioning, and knowledge generation and elaboration to take your teaching and learning to the next level. This episode is perfect for educators, students, and anyone interested in cognitive science and educational psychology.
