Retrieval Practice

Chromebooks are good because their battery life is on average....

• Between zero and 2 hours 

• Over 2 but less than 4 hours

• Over 4 but less than 8 hours

• Over 8 hours, up to as much as 11 hours

Retrieval Practice is

• Is best performed during the lesson where the information itself is taught

• a strategy where bringing information to mind strengthens learning

• Is only effective once at least 10-14 days has passed since learning took place

• Is the only way to test whether a student has retained the information

What are desirable difficulties?

• Tasks that are adequately challenging, requiring more mental load, which in turn, leads to better long term performance

• Tasks that are easily accessible, so as not to deter learners from attempting further tasks

• Difficult tasks that are scaffolded to remove barriers to understanding

What research did Barak Rosenshine develop

Teacher as expert is an outdated concept because

• Discovery learning is the most effective way to develop.

• It isn't. It is the basis for high quality teaching and learning.

• The internet is a vast resource of information that students have access to.

• Group working is far more effective than a well planned lesson.
