Committing Relevant processes and strategies to memory

1. Worked Examples – Textbook, teacher
2. Plug and chug – Textbook, introductory questions

used in class

3. Typical questions – Issac Physics problem sets,

past paper questions

4. Questions in unfamiliar contexts and synoptic

(cross topic) questions – Harder past paper questions from different boards

The aim is to do so many of these that you recognise the UNDERLYING PROCESS AND STATEGIES USED to answer the question.

NB – Its NOT cheating to check mark schemes

Autonomy

How hard are you currently working? 1: Little or no effort 5: Some effort – you’re working quite hard 10: High levels of effort – the hardest you’ve ever worked

Autonomy

How hard are you currently working? 1: 0-2 hours of independent study a week 5: 10 hours of independent study a week 10: 20 hours of independent study a week
