Abstract
This document is an outcome of the project 'The Learning Sciences in Initial Teacher Education' based at Bath Spa University (2019-2020) and funded by the Wellcome Trust. Cognitive psychology and neuroscience don’t provide definitive answers to complex educational questions. We see them as offering new information, frameworks and perspectives that should be examined in relation to other educational ideas and aims. We take a positive view of the new possibilities for understanding learning: research from the learning sciences could extend existing ideas or offer different kinds of explanations. If in this process contradictions appear we can and should use that as a provocation for debate. Initial Teacher Education (ITE) could play a key role in this through the ways in which we position research, literature and theory in the curriculum and discuss it with trainee teachers. In this document we share our experience of curriculum development within a Primary PGCE course.
