Summarising or applying research
More evidence that “distributing low stakes multiple-choice questions throughout lectures is effective for increasing test performance.” However, that was not the focus on this paper. The objective was to determine elements and procedures from the testing effect literature for practical …
The final post in the Heitmann series. What have we learnt so far? Adaptation enhances the benefits of practice quizzing and is therefore a suitable tool to further optimise the use of practice quizzing in educational contexts. Cognitive demand-based adaptations …
This is part two of a three part series reviewing Svenja Heitmann Dissertation “On Optimising the Use of Practice Quizzing: Benefits Increase by Adapting and May Depend on Learners’ Achievement Motives and the publications that followed. Remember, in the first …
Snapshot of Schwieren et al., (2017) The focus of testing is shifted from the assessment of learning outcomes to supporting the learning process – assessment for learning rather than assessment of learning. This paper focused on applied classroom practice. 19 …
Following yesterday’s read looking at the sequence effects of generative activities and retrieval practice, I am now reading a few “starred” Prof. Dr. Julian Roelle papers. Unsurprisingly, a paper on adaptive practice quizzing caught my attention, which led to Svenja …
Riding on @P_A_Kirschner coat tails, I decided to have a look at the research paper and Professor Julian Roelle research more widely. There were lots of interesting research topics to explore (quizzing, self-regulation, metacognition, Cognitive Load, worked examples) but for …
Listen to enough Dr John Dunlosky interviews and you will be convinced of two points: The importance of effective time management The importance of teaching students how they should go about learning (practice testing, spaced practice, and successive relearning) Of …
So I was recently asked, “Isn’t Successive Relearning just spaced retrieval practice?” Well yes, and more. Both retrieval practice and distributed practice are key ingredients of successive relearning however, so is success and there is a lot of detail covered …
