“When I first read about retrieval-induced forgetting I was concerned... could this mean that using retrieval practice causes a learner to lose other knowledge?” An interesting look on #RetrievalPractice and forgetting. (via @jwfirth.bsky.social) buff.ly/1mC7Dh9 #AcademicSky #EduSky
Is retrieval the same as revision?
Not really.
Revision is often end-loaded; retrieval works best when it’s built into daily teaching and spaced over time.

Check out ‘Diminishing Cues’ Retrieval Practice (DCRP) from Scientists in the Making – a sort of scaffolded retrieval technique that is worth looking at when you are concerned about overloading working memory capacity. www.thinkingmatters.com/news/diminsh... #thinkingschools #retrievalpractice

I saw the same taxi driver today - the one I gave the masks to before Christmas.
She had the masks to hand. She wasn't wearing one.
And she wasn't familiar with how to put them on.

Love using Wayground’s Mastery Peak for quick reviews before a unit project! 🏔️✨
Instead of a front of room review, I give our scholars 10 minutes to tackle a bank of 30 review questions. The results? Over 200 questions answered and massive amounts of #RetrievalPractice in no time! 🧠🚀

I’m looking forward to a great day of learning at @researchEDCan.
I’m leading two sessions:
- Making Math Stick
- Fixing Professional Learning
Both sessions explore how the science of learning can be leveraged to support instruction and learning.

Stop passive reviewing! Research proves active Retrieval Practice is key to cementing knowledge. 🔑 Use quick quizzing tools like Quizizz or Blooket 5 mins/day to force students to pull info out. It's low-stakes, high-impact learning.

Now then, (as they say in Yorkshire), I've just come across this example of #RetrievalPractice from the 17th Century. publicdomainreview.org/collection/r...
✨This mirrors what we promote in our curriculum design and CPD tools, bridging memory science with classroom practice.

Retrieval practice is a learning strategy that helps cement information in students’ minds. But #RetrievalPractice takes time. What information should be prioritized? Does it matter? (via The Effortful Educator) buff.ly/1h0QAPS #AcademicSky
Als studenten #retrievalPractice toepassen, doen ze dat dan best expliciet (neerschrijven, typen) of volstaat het het antwoord in zichzelf te geven? Geldt dit voor zowel complexe als eenvoudige leerstof? Nieuwe blogpost op #literatuurvoordeklas literatuurvoordeklas.blogspot.com/2025/06/retr...?

Quick read, so worth it if you are wanting learning to stick.

Glad I came across this, we're doing our best to plan for review across the curriculum, spaced and spiraling 👍

I'm having a blast sharing the science of learning at the #APS25DC Teaching Institute. Are participants at my session taking an exam or doom scrolling? Nope – they're engaging in #retrievalpractice!
🤔 Are your questions driving deep thinking for your students?
Too often, classroom questioning stays at surface level.
How can you implement techniques strategically, across a department or whole school?

Want your students to really learn, not just cram and forget? Mix up topics in quizzes and have them recall from memory. It feels harder — and that's exactly why it works. #RetrievalPractice #Interleaving #EduSky
