Retrieval Practise
Retrieval Practise
Maximise the impact of your studying by using principals of retrieval practice.
Study efficiently by spending more time on the informtion that needs more practice
Retrieval practice is a powerful research-based strategy that boosts learning by pulling information out of students' heads, rather than cramming information into students heads. It's a no-stakes learning opportunity that is flexible and quick, with a huge impact on long-term student achievement.
Spaced Learning
Spaced Learning
Spaced learning is based on the concept that learning is enhanced when knowledge is repeated after certain intervals. Spaced learning breaks down long employee training programs into several sessions or modules of shorter durations, with spaced intervals in between.
The Forgetting Curve
The Forgetting Curve
DOs
Add in longer time intervals between studying
Space out your study to allow neural connections to solidify
Forgetting is a key part of learning
More difficulty you have in retrieving information more impactful your study will be
DON'Ts
Do not put too informtion on each card
If you do not use them regularly for short periods, they will not be effective
Do not look at the card immediately if you cannot recall the information, make your brain work first
Do not just memorise things in one order (word = definition) try to mix the ways in which you remember
