Does the science of learning matter

Society has changed. The change is fundamental, that young people are facing a VUCA future, volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. The conventional role of education, which prepares people for lifelong credentials towards definitive jobs, is being challenged. Young people have to learn to learn, in order to adapt to ever changing circumstances, to survive and thrive, but then we have to know much more about learning, hence the Science of Learning. Meanwhile, the development of non-traditional modes of learning has also placed urgent demands on the understanding of learning. Nonetheless, principles established by Science of Learning have to be made simple and available to teachers and parents.
