Effective Learning Strategies (Part 2) (Week 4, Friday 19 July)
Session outcomes:
• describe the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve
• explain what retrieval and storage strength is and why this is important for learning
• apply two of the principles of cognitive science to their planning
SI PDF: 1.1, 2.3, 3.1
Context:
At Teach First we believe that cognitive science supports teacher development and our approach is informed by a range of
research such as Deans for Impact, Learning About Learning and Principles of Instruction. The introduction to cognitive science
during Summer Institute focuses on the principles of learning in line with the Summer Institute Participant Development
Framework.
Importantly, we are presenting one view of learning, of which participants will be exposed to many. It is important to emphasise
throughout participants' time on the PDGE they will be asked to critically analyse the role of different approaches that impact
on teaching and learning and their own practice. For the purposes of Summer Institute, we have decided to focus on one,
cognitive science.

A few important questions
1. What is learning?
2. What is understanding?
3. Why might some pupils have better developed schemas around topics taught in school? What advantages might this cause?
4. What implications does this have for your teaching?

Apply it
• Where have you seen evidence of spaced practice in people's planning and teaching?
• What was the teacher aiming to achieve through using this method?
• What is the time gap that has been provided for pupils before returning to the content, concept or topic?
• How could you incorporate spaced practice into your teaching?

1. A person's memory of facts accumulated over their lives
2. A person's unique memory of a specific event
3. A memory that is easy to retrieve

@TeachFirst | #TFSI2019 | @teachfirstuk
Around a particular topic, some people are able to learn and apply things more quickly than others because:
1. They possess more, well-organised knowledge
2. They have developed their working memory capacity
3. They are naturally gifted

@TeachFirst | #TFSI2019 | @teachfirstuk
Which of these statements is true?
1. Storage strength varies between people
2. Retrieval strength varies between people
3. Storage strength varies between memories

@TeachFirst | #TFSI2019 | @teachfirstuk
If something is easy to remember, and this doesn’t change over a long period of time, then the memory:
1. Has a high storage strength
2. Has a low storage strength
3. Might have a high storage strength
