I have just released the 3rd episode in the current Research in Action mini-series on my Mr Barton Maths podcast. This series is part of my never-ending quest to bridge the gap between academic research and what it actually means for teachers in the classroom.

I chatted with Hugo Lortie-Forgues about his background in psychology and education, focusing on misconceptions in learning fractions and the importance of understanding educational programs. Hugo emphasises the need for clear communication of research findings, particularly regarding the effectiveness of educational interventions and the uncertainty that accompanies them. The discussion also touches on the challenges teachers face in interpreting research and the importance of evaluating the quality of educational studies.
