The Role of Prior Knowledge in Effects of Embodied Pedagogies on Learning: https://osf.io/qyjp9
"learners with lower prior knowledge, because they lack the foundational understanding needed to make sense of abstract representations, benefit from actively performing actions. In contrast, learners who have higher prior knowledge will learn better from observing actions as it enables more opportunity for connection-making and transfer."

The 2-sigma gain from #tutoring claimed by Benjamin Bloom in 1984 and repeated by Salman Khan is a myth https://www.educationnext.org/two-sigma-tutoring-separating-science-fiction-from-science-fact/
Just FYI, too, Bloom's Taxonomy is not meant to be a sequence, requiring lower level learning before higher order thinking. See research on inductive learning/teaching approaches, and productive failure: https://www.manukapur.com/productive-failure/

Personalizing real-world problems: Posing own problems increases self-efficacy expectations, intrinsic value, attainment value, and utility value https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/bjep.12653?campaign=wolearlyview
"Real-world problems are important in math instruction, but they do not necessarily trigger students' task motivation...Active personalization (i.e. asking students to pose their own real-world problems) is suited to enhance students' motivation, self-efficacy, and value."

Students "are generally readily able to identify effective strategies: explanation, pretesting, retrieval practice & interleaving. Despite their knowledge, they were still unlikely to report using these strategies themselves...Our findings suggest that interventions...might focus less on teaching about what is effective and more on increasing self-efficacy, reducing perceived costs & establishing better habits"

An Astonishing Regularity in Student Learning Rate https://psyarxiv.com/pxsfh/
This paper argues that people generally learn at the same rate, it's just the starting point (prior knowledge) which differs. I'm hesitant to rely on proposed universal laws or patterns when it comes to learning or cognition. '7+-2" for example, has been debunked numerous times over the decades. But it's still interesting to stimulate discussion & further research
