1. Helping students Remember what you teach
Greg Miller
Iowa State University

2. Objective
Explain the information processing model and apply it to instruction in Plant Breeding.

3. Activity 1
Remembering the top 10 cassava producing countries.

4. Multi-Store Model of Memory

5. Remember this... all students learn by Remembering (aslR)
a= attention s= short-term l= long-term memory R = rehearsal and retrieval

6. Multi-Store Model of Memory

7. 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)

8. Multi-Store Model of Memory

9. 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)

10. Multi-Store Model of Memory

11. 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)

12. Multi-Store Model of Memory

13. 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)

14. Multi-Store Model of Memory

15. 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)

16. 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.

17. 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
