This is a summary post linking to 12 previous posts based on Wilfred Rubens' book 'Wijze lessen. waalf bouwstenen voor effectieve didactiek' (Lessons for Learning: Twelve Building Blocks for Effective Teaching). Find the original – in Dutch – here). It describes pretty precisely many of the instructivist principles being applied these days in 'remote teaching'. They basically describe a process of presenting information, having students practice concepts, and then testing them on their knowledge acquisition. I think it can be safely said that this method works for specific instruction, and students will pass the tests, but also that (at least for someone like me) it would be a form of excruciating torture.
[Correction: I read Mirjam and Paul saying "We translated Wilfred Rubens' work... who wrote the twelve based on the book 'Wijze lessen.." and thought they were summarizing a Rubens book. In fact, they were translating Rubens' posts summarizing Paul's own book.]
