💭 Are we still assessing learning, or just rewarding performance?

This week on IB Unplugged, we’re joined by David Spooner – IB educator, Theory of Knowledge teacher, and examiner – to unpack how assessment has evolved, what AI is disrupting, and how educators can stay anchored in purpose amid rapid change.

In this episode, we explore:

- How assessment drifted from learning-focused to grade-driven
- What AI is revealing about the aims of education
- The importance of critical thinking and inquiry in staying deeply human
- Whether AI can support learning without undermining educational values

A must-listen for educators rethinking assessment, values, and the future of learning.

Season 2 of IB Unplugged is here, and we’re starting with a masterclass in how students really learn.

In our opening episode, cognitive science educator Gareth Rogers joins us to break down what IB educators need to know about cognition and metacognition, memory and the science of learning. From practical classroom strategies to debunking common myths, this conversation is full of insights for educators looking to make learning stick.

🧠 In this episode, we explore:
• why understanding how students think is the key to deeper learning
• the role of metacognition in student success
• how to balance content knowledge with thinking skills
• what the research really says about retrieval, cognitive load and attention
• how Kognity supports teaching that's informed by cognitive science

🎧 A fresh season. A new perspective. Big takeaways.
