What can teachers do?
How can teachers help students memorize the information needed to succeed in modern society? The two best techniques are Spaced Practice and the Testing Effect.
Spaced Practice
- Frequent and small homework assignments that include both new and previously covered material.
- Cumulative tests.
- Short review sessions at the beginning of a lesson.
- Spiral curriculum.
Testing Effect
- Quizzes.
- Practice tests.
- Review questions.
That's difficult!
- Creating this interwoven set of assignments embedded in a high-quality curriculum is hard to do, especially for new teachers.
- When teaching online, this is even harder because teachers cannot dominate the student’s personal space and march
them through exercises.
- Instead, teachers must explicitly show students how to memorize knowledge by themselves.
