Helping students Remember what you teach Greg Miller Iowa State University
Objective Explain the information processing model and apply it to instruction in Plant Breeding.
Activity 1 Remembering the top 10 cassava producing countries.
Multi-Store Model of Memory https://misshanks2014.wordpress.com/the-multi-store-model-of-memory/
Remember this... all students learn by Remembering (aslR) a= attention s= short-term l= long-term memory R = rehearsal and retrieval

Getting Attention all students learn by Remembering (aslR) Minimize distraction Say or do something interesting Use cues or gestures Use media and technology all students learn by Remembering (aslR)

Short Term Memory all students learn by Remembering (aslR) AKA – Working Memory Capacity is 7 +/-2 Duration is about 30 seconds without rehearsal all students learn by Remembering (aslR)

Rehearsal all students learn by Remembering (aslR) Rote rehearsal Chunking Mnemonic devices Self referencing Taking notes: summarize, outline, map all students learn by Remembering (aslR)

Long Term Memory all students learn by Remembering (aslR) Unlimited capacity and duration Overlearning and automaticity Forgetting caused by Encoding failure Storage decay Interference all students learn by Remembering (aslR)

Retrieval all students learn by Remembering (aslR) Learning and later retrieving information from LTM can be enhanced by: Focusing attention. Employing rehearsal strategies. Spacing out learning activities. Promoting deeper processing. Providing structure and organization. Connecting to previous learning & experience. Teaching to the test. all students learn by Remembering (aslR)
Activity 2 Work with a partner to identify a lesson within plant breeding education where IPM and related concepts could be applied. Name a specific concept or strategy from IPM that you would apply in the lesson. Describe in detail how you would apply the concept or strategy in teaching the lesson. Report.
Summary Points All learning involves remembering We have limited sensory and working memory We have unlimited long-term memory Storing and retrieving is impacted by encoding There are concepts and strategies we can use to enhance learning and long-term memory
