“…The interdisciplinary approach of the science of learning is helping us to better understand, and disentangle the complexities of learning. Advances in technology, combined with innovative mixed methodologies and expanded worldviews allow for learning to be studied at various levels of granularity, from the synapse to society, recognising learning as an individual as well as a social phenomenon (MacMahon and Carroll, 2023). Core research in the science of learning has contributed to our understanding of cognitive, emotional, social, and metacognitive processes critical for learners' self-regulation of their learning.…”

Amid the constant change in higher education, a clear-eyed focus on the mission of higher education to support student learning is critical. Supporting student success, in turn, needs to emphasise rigorous evidence about what matters most for facilitating high-quality learning. With the science of learning, an emerging interdisciplinary field, as the study foundation, a series of 20 interviews was conducted with senior academics with research expertize in higher education and learning sciences. Interviews focused on principles for effective learning in the 21st century and relevance of science of learning research and literature to these principles. Using inductive and deductive thematic analysis across six iterative phases, seven key themes critical to contemporary higher education learning emerged, from which the higher education learning principles were developed. The principles provide a powerful tool to guide effective university teaching at an individual, organisation and policy level.
