Here is a great resource for a variety of purposes. The British Psychological Society (BPS) Digest summarizes peer-reviewed research from academic journals for a general audience. Access this resource at: http://bps-research-digest.blogspot.com
A few interesting educational findings:
- "Real life" examples may not be best for teaching math
- Diagrams and figures are not effective in teaching History, but period films appear to be
- Classroom lighting can affect student performance
Some interesting "workplace" findings which could be VERY interesting for BOH include:
- Brainstorming is not an effective way to get group ideas
- Childless women are the most productive employees
- More satisfied employees do not appear to be better performers
- Company profits are linked to the facial appearance of CEOs
