Cognitive Load Theory Quotes

“Emeritus Professor John Sweller, of the University of New South Wales, Australia, conceived of the theory of CLT and published a paper on it in April 1988.2 Sweller himself says that after this his work was largely ignored for the next 20 years! Dylan Wiliam’s tweet suggests that the theory had remained largely confined to narrow academic fields, and was certainly not at home in the pedagogical discourse with which normal classroom teachers were familiar.”
