Strategies to improve students’ memory skills

What is the relevance of memory skills in the new curriculum? Linear curricula at GCSE and A Level focused on extended recall More content in curricula KS1-5 New Grade 9 at GCSE (top 3% of students) Focus on ‘mastery’ in subjects Ofsted focus on subject knowledge Link between knowledge and skills: The richer the knowledge base of the curriculum, the most effectively cognitive processes can operate (Willingham)

Teaching for Memory Encoding

Resources for memory encoding Thinglink: Allows users to create interactive memory boards Diigo: Allows users to collect, organise, link and annotate information Showme: Allows you to capture teaching which can then be replayed (portable learning) Studyblue: Allows users to create notes and flashcards

Retrieval Enhanced Teaching

What works?

Quizzes work better than more study sessions Roediger & Karpicke 2006 identified the Testing Effect Study Test Study Test Study Test StudyTest Testing can be used as teaching Testing strengthens students’ retrieval pathways Students become more aware of what they don’t know (Roediger, Putman & Smith 2011) Putwain (2008) showed that test anxiety had a negative impact on GCSE results. Regular low-stake testing makes students less anxious about tests (Brown, Roediger & McDaniel 2014)

Whole-school Planning for Retrieval Enhanced Learning Increase the amount of review in lessons and planning schedules Retrieval Planning Schedules adding in spacing, interleaving and low-stake testing Retrieval Lesson Plans Starter/ plenary quizzes (last lesson, last week, last term, connect) Develop memory questioning Replace ‘revision’ with ‘review’ in planning Review tutorials: once a week in form time Book polishing built into planning schedules Students encouraged to use technology available Study regimes for students incorporating spacing and interleaving

Coaching for Memory Skills Student memory champions Staff memory mentors Memory Days Memory form tutorials Memory Challenges/ Master Memory

Worth considering? Research suggests that Times New Roman size 12 is the fastest font to read Listening to classical music can increase concentration Practising meditation can increase focus
