Step 1: ‘Chunk’ the knowledge

https://wilmslowhigh.fireflycloud.net/ind ependent-learning/advice-about- effective-revision-and-learning

Step 2: Use Knowledge Organisers

To encode and store a ‘chunk’ of knowledge in the way that it can be most easily retrieved you need to map it in a way that is correct and helpful to learn.

Example of a knowledge organiser

Step 3: Colour code ‘chunks’

Have a retrieval plan for every week...

... And know how to build it using an understanding of cognitive science

Or ‘why forgetting isn’t necessarily a bad thing’

Storage and retrieval

To store and retrieve a ‘chunk’ of knowledge most effectively you should aim to revisit it 3 times.

Ebbinghaus’ Forgetting Curve and spacing/overlearning effect

Wiseheart – optimal intervals

Time to test Optimum interval between study sessions 1 week 1-2 days 1 month 1 week 2 months 2 weeks 6 months 3 weeks 1 year 4 weeks

Storage and retrieval

To store and retrieve ‘chunks’ of knowledge most effectively you should interleave them – mixing up different subjects, knowledge chunks and aspects of a ‘chunk’

Blocking vs Interleaving

Example of a spaced and interleaved revision plan

Topic 1 Topic 2 Topic 3 Topic 4 Week 1 1st 1st 2 1st 3 1st 2nd 4 2nd 2nd 5 2nd 3rd 6 3rd 3rd 7 3rd 4th 8 4th 4th 4th

Practice

Regular deliberate practice is the best way to improve performance. To improve performance you should be doing regular exam

• practice. Every practice session is an
• pportunity to become more fluent, and to

eliminate mistakes.

Testing

S S S S or S T T T? Revision must be active, not just re-reading, highlighting, rewriting Testing and past exam questions actually help you to store information, as well as helping you to retrieve it. To store and retrieve knowledge most effectively you need to build in lots of testing and quizzing sessions. Research indicates that testing is the most effective form of learning information.

Watching a Yr 11 'revising'

• How active are they?
• Are they watching and reading?

– Speaking aloud (to you/a friend/themselves) – Rewriting notes – Writing ANSWERS – Reviewing and correcting with notes – Online
