Supporting working memory: Strategies to improve recall and understanding in science - Invitation Only RD298 / B13
Summary
To progress to more complex understanding in science, it is essential that learners have the ability to retain and recall knowledge. Cognitive science research supports four main theories that can improve retention and recall of information: cognitive load, spaced review, retrieval practice and elaboration. During this course, you will learn various techniques that will allow you to apply these theories to your teaching and improve the knowledge and recall of your learners.
