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 several key theories that can improve retention and recall of information including: cognitive load, spaced learning, retrieval practice and elaborative interrogation. During this course, you will learn various techniques that will allow you to apply these theories to your science teaching and improve the knowledge and recall of your learners. These techniques are also echoed in the EEF’s Improving Secondary Science Guidance Report.
