I think this will specifically help with exam units. ]]> 2022-03-16 23:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2098935722 Business AB https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2098939147 I agree with this statement giving learners tasks that enables them to actively utilise gained knowledge is important. Building in recall activities will then help with long term knowledge gain.]]> 2022-03-16 23:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2098939147 I feel this is particularly true with the part time adult learners as they are very focused on achieving units (turning them green on smart assessor). I think because they are provided with the full criteria for every unit up front they use it more as a checklist rather than competencies that require time and repetition to develop into a skill to use within practice. stcharlton https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100421720 2022-03-17 16:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100421720 This is really relevant in teaching a competency based curriculum as content relating to learning theories and professional standards can be embedded across various (if not all) units in the course to really develop an understanding of why they are developing certain skills and knowledge supporting their own practice. stcharlton https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100432730 2022-03-17 16:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100432730 This one got me really thinking as we are a unit based qualification we do tend to teach then assess immediately afterwards. We do observe the supporting of teaching practice regularly which I could argue assesses long term memory in relation to what they do in practice day in and day out but the other 'end of unit' assessments do not. stcharlton https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100442981 2022-03-17 16:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100442981 No i dont agree it is the art of recalling and developing that recall to allow them to remember what they have learnt. With retrieval practice and recalling regularly it will help them to recall a lot more efficient https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100510392 2022-03-17 17:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100510392 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100537525 Agree. Introducing foundational research skills etc. early in the year will help students to become much more independent in their ability to find relevant and credible information more efficiently. ]]> 2022-03-17 17:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100537525 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100545159 Agree. The sequence of overall curriculum should draw links across different units to encourage students to see wider relevance and links in information. Having already been introduced to a topic or theory early early in the year in one unit, we re-introduce similar theories later in the year in a different unit and ask students to show deeper and further application of their knowledge and encourage them to see relevance within different contexts. ]]> 2022-03-17 17:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100545159 I read Performance in the classroom is highly dependent on the cues and the stimuli provided by the teacher, I believe its also dependent on the focus from the learner. jlister12 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100611627 Anonymous]]> 2022-03-17 18:25:05 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100611627 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100737772 I agree with the comment above.

It is hard to encourage students to view their learning as a bigger picture]]> 2022-03-17 20:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100743780 I think this is an interesting quote which juxtaposes the earlier statement - if you have forgotten something then you haven't really learnt it. I think that we need to forget information, even if for a short while so that we can create an opportunity to retrieve it. https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100777539 2022-03-17 20:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100777539 I agree however this is a challenge when teaching large groups of learners with differing abilities. https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100780222 2022-03-17 20:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2100780222 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101590520 It is important to revisit and practice recall to ensure understand learning]]> 2022-03-18 09:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101590520 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101590541 I’ve adapted my resources to reduce cognitive load . 😊 ]]> 2022-03-18 09:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101590541 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101590704 Yes learning can be a change in long term memory, however if new information only ‘sticks’ short term it does not mean a student has not learnt ]]> 2022-03-18 09:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101590704 Forgetting is considered to be a component of learning! cp_brook https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101590839 2022-03-18 09:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101590839 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101591462 I agree with this statement, I think we need to recap topics on a regular basis ]]> 2022-03-18 09:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101591462 this made me really re-think how we structure the curriculum and whether semesterised units are really beneficial https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101592085 2022-03-18 09:06:36 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101592085 I will aim/plan to include more quiz type activities, already do some both online and using paper etc but will include more! https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101592879 2022-03-18 09:07:27 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101592879 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101593706 I agree with this. We need to recap this information and do it often and the more we do it the longer we can leave between each recap. But always come back to this topic later down the line.]]> 2022-03-18 09:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101593706 Agree with this, students only want to consider criteria as part of an assignment and don't see it as necessary for their future. https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101593727 2022-03-18 09:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101593727 smiddleton19 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101593789 I agree as this shows it has entered the long term memory and so the skill/knowledge has more likely been learnt which can be reinforced further by applying to practice with a case study etc]]> 2022-03-18 09:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101593789 More challenging questioning, ensuring elements of whole class participation.

]]> 2022-03-18 09:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101594339 I agree to an extent however, I also believe that they need to enjoy the subject in the first place in order to learn the information even with doing tasks to learn the idea. https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101594900 2022-03-18 09:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101594900 No as I disagree with this as students can recall information using a variety of ways. Such as: if students are given an image that related to the information when given, some students can recall the information. This also relates to reducing cognitive overload. https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101595076 2022-03-18 09:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101595076 I agree with the above, information needs to be utilised regularly in order to keep it in long term memory. https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101595189 2022-03-18 09:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101595189 Ensuring retrieval practice at the beginning/ end of the lesson.

Our students are going into practical fields so we need to ensure they have the relevant knowledge and skills provided during the academic year and continue to develop. Therefore the information provided needs to be engrained in their brain and long term. ]]> 2022-03-18 09:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101596866 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101598639 I agree with this statement and think it is important as it develops the students understanding on an ongoing basis so the they can link it into practice in the working environment.]]> 2022-03-18 09:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101598639 I agree with this as retrieving information is beneficial to students.

This need to pass earlier criteria just to get students through a course can create this 'blocking', with no coherency of content. Revisiting content should be for retrieval throughout the course, not for the sake of moving up the criteria ladder. ]]> 2022-03-18 11:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101734537 https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101740044 I have stopped displaying what criteria we are working towards at the beginning of my lessons, as the focus was too much on why they were learning the content- what grade was it for, rather than understanding the importance of all the content delivered. Some learners are quick to shut off because 'i'm not working towards that grade/criteria'. ]]> 2022-03-18 11:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/L_Jones_Mbro/yc4mw427nndfl751/wish/2101740044
