| Details | Course Overview: This one-off session provides an insightful summary briefing on useful recent research which has shown that ‘retrieval practice, elaboration, and concept mapping help students make richer, more meaningful connections between ideas.’ We will look at how retrieval practice helps with memory; how asking questions to elaborate knowledge of a topic works more effectively than asking pupils to remember information; and how to help pupils with concept mapping by looking at the six stages of doing this effectively. As one teacher said, ‘These strategies work because they engage the learner’s attention and encourage them to think more deeply about the content.’ We read the research so you don’t have to! | |||
