As regular readers of our website know, spaced practice is one of the go-to learning strategies from cognitive psychology – dating back to Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885. Spaced practice is simply the distribution of a set study time across several sessions instead of cramming it all into a single study session. Spacing out learning has been shown to be beneficial for long-term retention of knowledge. Thus, spaced practice increases the likelihood that students will remember stuff teachers taught them in the previous semesters and, consequently, decreases the likelihood of teachers to spend precious classroom time reteaching old stuff. Teachers can implement spaced practice in their teaching routine relatively easily if they have the time to find out what to pay attention to and figure out an implementation strategy that fits their subject and needs. This can be quite overwhelming, but there are teachers out there who have done a terrific job coming up with working implementations of spaced practice – and luckily – have blogged about it. This week’s digest provides some great examples of implementations of spaced practice by teachers. Kudos from us!
