The learning sciences have yielded a wealth of insights about the mechanisms and conditions that promote learning, yet the findings from this body of research often do not make their way into educational practice. This fundamentally translational problem is one we believe that educators from translational fields, with their evidence-based orientation and familiarity with the challenges and importance of translation, are well-positioned to address. Here, we provide a primer on the learning sciences to guide educators in the Clinical and Translational Science Institutes and other organizations that train translational researchers. We (a) describe the unique teaching and learning environment in which this training occurs, and why it necessitates attention to learning research and its appropriate application, (b) explain what the learning sciences are, (c) distill the complex science of learning into core principles, (d) situate recent developments in the field within these principles, and (e) explain, in practical terms, how these principles can inform our teaching.
学习科学已经产生了大量关于促进学习的机制和条件的见解，但这一研究领域的成果往往未能应用于教育实践。我们认为，来自转化领域的教育工作者，凭借其基于证据的导向以及对转化的挑战和重要性的熟悉程度，能够很好地解决这个根本性的转化问题。在此，我们提供一份学习科学入门指南，以指导临床与转化科学研究所及其他培养转化研究人员的组织中的教育工作者。我们（a）描述了进行这种培训的独特教学环境，以及为何需要关注学习研究及其恰当应用；（b）解释学习科学是什么；（c）将复杂的学习科学提炼为核心原则；（d）在这些原则的框架内阐述该领域的最新发展；（e）从实际角度解释这些原则如何为我们的教学提供指导。
