Meet our Scientist of the Month: Jo Van Herwegen
“From my first encounter with children with Williams syndrome, I was inspired by their unique ways of communicating and learning. This sparked a lifelong commitment to researching how individuals with learning difficulties develop and thrive. I believe that by understanding these diverse learning pathways, we can create inclusive, evidence-based educational tools that empower every learner to reach their fullest potential."
Meet our Scientist of the Month: Maria Julia Hermida
“Growing up in Latin America, I've seen firsthand the impact of inequality and social injustice. The Science of Learning has given me powerful tools to not only understand these challenges but to develop interventions that can help create a more just society."
Meet our Scientist of the Month: Olav Schewe
“True learning begins when we replace ‘Can I?’ with ‘How can I?’—through deliberate practice, strategic incubation, and collaborative insight, we transform challenges into stepping stones."
Meet our Scientist of the Month: Professor Megan M. McClelland
“Our research shows that by nurturing self-regulation skills early on, we can empower children to confidently navigate their world. It's not just about academic success; it's about equipping our young learners with the tools they need to thrive in all aspects of life. When we collaborate across disciplines and cultures, we create interventions that are not only effective but also accessible to all, paving the way for a future where every child can reach their full potential."

AI Action Collaborative Webinar Recap

Our AI Action Collaborative held two important webinars discussing the intersection of AI, the Science of Learning, and Education. We are grateful to our panelists, and their full contributions can be seen on our YouTube Channel. In 2025, moderator Carla Aerts will turn her attention to developing contexts with the third webinar in this series.

2024 UNESCO Alliance on the Science of Learning

GSoLEN and many of our network scientists were honored to participate in the Global Alliance on the Science of Learning meeting, held in Paris in December as panelists and moderators.

Also, our Director, Kelly Shiohira, moderated a session on Knowledge Brokering at the UNESCO Alliance on the Science of Learning annual meeting. The panel included an international group of experts who presented different strategies for knowledge brokering, and robust audience participation.

GSoLEN is excited to continue to explore and develop knowledge-brokering as a concept and a practice, and invites collaborators to the cause!

 

2024 New Partnerships

In 2024, GSoLEN formed significant new partnerships and grew its membership and social media followings. We would especially like to highlight our new partnerships with UNESCOAccelNETInternational Centre for EdTech ImpactEdCortexMindCET, and Everyone.AI. We look forward to expanding this list and deepening our collaborations this year.

Scientists’ Corner

In 2024, we had the opportunity to highlight the work of many of our scientists, and we will continue these features throughout 2025.

Our scientist of the month of May for 2025 is Professor Jo Van Herwegen.

To achieve maximum worldwide benefit from science-based strategies designed to meet the learning needs of diverse students and our global future.

AI Action Collaborative

Just as the science of learning provided the foundation for developing AI, GSoLEN has formed a working group of policymakers, researchers, AI and EdTech developers and designers, learners, teachers, and parents to ensure SoL guides decisions and applications of this fast-growing technology. Carla Aerts leads this from the United Kingdom. Much more to come from this active collaboration initiative.
