Alright, future engineers!
**Active Recall:** Retrieving info from memory *without* notes.
Ex: After studying, close your book & list all key concepts.
Pro-Tip: It's harder than rereading, but *way* more effective for long-term retention!

Alright, future engineers!
**Active Recall:** Retrieving info from memory without looking at your notes.
Ex: After reading a chapter, close the book and list key concepts you remember.
Pro-Tip: The harder it feels, the stronger the memory link you're building!

Retrieval practice works. We’ve known that for years.
But better remembering doesn’t automatically mean better applying.
A new study shows where the limits are.

Yoh! Gelukt! Zoon heeft nu een whiteboard in gebruik om al zijn geleerde stof te herhalen en uit te schrijven en tekenen. Hij staat, beweegt meer, oefent, veegt uit, verbetert zijn aantekeningen. Hij staat er zelfs bij te glimlachen en is tevreden. Voelt voor hem zo veel beter. En… hij is niet meer de schermzombie. En we zien ook wat hij leert en hij legt het ons uit. #fysiotherapie Gewoon wouw!

This summer I've been reading about interventions to promote the use of effective learning strategies (such as #RetrievalPractice) by university students. None of the educational research papers on this subject ever hypothesize that students just don't have the personal willpower to study--much less study effectively, or that their lives are too hectic and they lack the time to study, or that they lack time management skills. Instead, stated hypotheses include...

Made a #Quizlet #flashcard deck for my #GCSE #Literature students last week to practice as #homework for our #revision lesson before the #mocks .

Set the deadline to practice the cards a day before the #lesson .

Now I'm going into that lesson with an up-to-date awareness of where we are as a class and what ideas need refreshing most urgently and I haven't even done an #assessment or done any #marking on it.

This is awesome.

@toran @socrates Just completed my Creative Writing (novels) MA at Manchester but I teach English Literature at high school. Interested in buzz word pedagogy like #retrievalpractice and #decolonisation and sharing approaches.
Mastodon seems to thrive on small servers. Really tempted to find out how to start one.
