Step 1: ‘Chunk’ the knowledge https://wilmslowhigh.fireflycloud.net/ind ependent-learning/advice-about- effective-revision-and-learning
Step 2: Use Knowledge Organisers To encode and store a ‘chunk’ of knowledge in the way that it can be most easily retrieved you need to map it in a way that is correct and helpful to learn.
Example of a knowledge organiser
Step 3: Colour code ‘chunks’
Have a retrieval plan for every week...
... And know how to build it using an understanding of cognitive science Or ‘why forgetting isn’t necessarily a bad thing’
Storage and retrieval To store and retrieve a ‘chunk’ of knowledge most effectively you should aim to revisit it 3 times.
Ebbinghaus’ Forgetting Curve and spacing/overlearning effect
Wiseheart – optimal intervals Time to test Optimum interval between study sessions 1 week 1-2 days 1 month 1 week 2 months 2 weeks 6 months 3 weeks 1 year 4 weeks
Storage and retrieval To store and retrieve ‘chunks’ of knowledge most effectively you should interleave them – mixing up different subjects, knowledge chunks and aspects of a ‘chunk’
Blocking vs Interleaving
Example of a spaced and interleaved revision plan Topic 1 Topic 2 Topic 3 Topic 4 Week 1 1st 1st 2 1st 3 1st 2nd 4 2nd 2nd 5 2nd 3rd 6 3rd 3rd 7 3rd 4th 8 4th 4th 4th
Practice Regular deliberate practice is the best way to improve performance. To improve performance you should be doing regular exam practice. Every practice session is an opportunity to become more fluent, and to eliminate mistakes.
Testing S S S S or S T T T? Revision must be active, not just re-reading, highlighting, rewriting Testing and past exam questions actually help you to store information, as well as helping you to retrieve it. To store and retrieve knowledge most effectively you need to build in lots of testing and quizzing sessions. Research indicates that testing is the most effective form of learning information.
