Evidence-Based Learning
Our teaching approaches are grounded in cognitive science research and validated through measurable learning outcomes. Every method we use has been tested in real educational environments with documented results.
Cognitive Load Management
Research from educational psychology shows that breaking complex financial concepts into smaller, interconnected modules improves retention by 40-60%. We structure our content using proven chunking techniques that align with working memory limitations.
Studies by Dr. Marissa Chen at Melbourne Business Institute (2024) demonstrate that learners absorb economic planning principles more effectively when presented in 15-minute focused segments rather than traditional hour-long lectures.
Research-Backed Methods
Active Recall Testing
Spaced repetition systems based on Ebbinghaus forgetting curve research. Students review material at scientifically optimal intervals.
Scenario Simulation
Case-based learning using real Australian market data from 2020-2024. Research shows 35% better application of concepts.
Feedback Loops
Immediate correction mechanisms validated by Queensland University studies on adult learning in professional contexts.
Dr. Penelope Hartwell
Educational Psychology Researcher, Former RMIT Faculty
Penelope spent eight years studying how adults learn financial concepts, publishing 14 peer-reviewed papers on economic education effectiveness. Her work with adult learners in Melbourne informed our current methodology framework.
