I've noticed these past months the disappearance of the term schema & the appearance of mental models, seemingly in its place, when discussing teacher PD. Yet the change has not been explained. I also notice others also using the term ubiquitously. Here is the distinction.

We don’t yet have a science of learning, because we don’t yet have a theory of learning that we can test experimentally.

Seen some academics puzzled as to why ChatGPT invents academic references and why its "database" stops at 2021. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of how it works. It's a language model, not a knowledge base. Produces "continuations" not "facts". We need a new AI literacy.

‘Capability development’ is a process - or rather the name we give to something people do. But if you are looking for the ‘capability development’ part of the brain you will be disappointed.
