It also helps them be more aware of their learning process so that they can focus on what they couldn't remember. ]]> 2022-09-19 22:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303802516 Spacing marianagurgelpegorini https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303805518 It's more effective than studying about a topic for a long time because knowledge has time to solidify and simmer. It makes it so students are more likely to remember what they learned and gives them the opportunity to discuss it with their classmates. ]]> 2022-09-19 22:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303805518 Executive function strategy https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303806905 A great way to help your learners follow their own pace while checking their knowledge is part of EF´s development which I believe is extremely important in the classroom. ]]> 2022-09-19 22:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303806905 Interleaving marianagurgelpegorini https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303808002 Allows students to review content from previous classes and study more than one subject in one classroom. It can be a good strategy for a language class because a text could be studied on different perspectives: analyzing its vocabulary, verb tenses, etc. ]]> 2022-09-19 22:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303808002 Forgetting to remember https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303813175 Three concepts:
- retrieval practice: refers to the technique of recalling previously learned material without relying on notes or books.
- spacing: involves dividing up study over time, instead of cramming all of the course material into one long session.
- interleaving: Interleaving means mixing up the study subjects in a single session.


]]> 2022-09-19 22:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303813175 Learning requires memory. But attention, engagement, motivation, and emotion regulation are also important. Teacher must understand how to use these techniques, retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving so students can use them to improve their study skills. https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303820157 2022-09-19 22:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303820157 https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303821510 Knowing about techniques based on The Science of Learning is important for teachers to help students organize themselves, and retrieve the most from their study sessions.]]> 2022-09-19 22:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303821510 Retrieval Practice - for teachers Formats - Two Things (where students write down two things they remember from the lesson), Brain Dumps (where students jot down everything they remember about a topic), and mini-quizzes (where students answer three quiz questions. https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303825949 2022-09-19 23:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303825949 Spacing - for teachers. Have students retrieve the same content one day after the input, one week after, and one month after. Vary the retrieval work! https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303831339 2022-09-19 23:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303831339 Yes, teachers should know about Neuroscience https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303831788 Teachers should know at least a little about Neuroscience, as it greatly benefits them during their teaching and the students' learning processes. Sometimes we use techniques developed by or greatly supported by Neuroscience and we do not even know about it.
Of course, I do not believe we must know deeply of Neuroscience, but as it is a study field that touches on relevant topics for education, it should be more discussed in education-related courses. We would be able to improve many aspects of lessons with it.]]> 2022-09-19 23:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303831788 https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303835462 These techniques seem to be really effectives when we refeer to students memorizing what they have been learning so far. It's interesting how all the three steps are as a chain. All of them depend on themselves. Retrieval connects to spacing that is also connected to interleaving and all again. As far as I understood,:
- Retrieval is the hability to be in contact again with the subjects or contents that you previously learned;
Spacing: students should do the retrieval in different moments, such as spacing two days after the first contact, seven days and then a month;
Interleaving: it's a purpose to mix contents and let students do the different retrievals at the same time. ]]> 2022-09-19 23:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303835462 Interleaving - for teachers. Cover material from different lessons. Example: Put two lists of vocabulary on the board: one list including vocabulary from Unit 1 and a second list including vocabulary from Unit 2. Students choose one word from each list and make an imaginative sentence with them. https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303835930 2022-09-19 23:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303835930 Forgeting to remember https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303838218 Short answer: It depends wheather or not have we reached a consensus on how the brain learns.

Remembering is an imperative part of learning, and surely, strategies to help students (and teachers) to improve their memory are of vital importance for long term learning. However, I believe this might miss an important aspect, which is motivation. All of these techniques require the student to be active in the learning process (as it should be), but to really dedicate themselves to studying and to aply all of these ideas, students need to, somehow, resonate with the ideas and topics being discussed. How to motivate students probably varies from student to student and from class to class and maybe, is a separate discussion entirely. I am curious, though, if neuroscience has an answer on how to best approach motivation since, to me, this might be a needed before applying retrieval practices, interleaving and spacing techniques.]]> 2022-09-19 23:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303838218 Do we really need to be specialist? https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303849367
From my point of view the point is to work with strategies and science together. They help each other. We don't need to be specialist, like the ideia of driver license. We should know something to drive it better, so it's important know something about neuroscience to work better.]]> 2022-09-19 23:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/edcrockscpd/6vyxguqq63bxfbil/wish/2303849367
