We are scientists who believe in the scientific process.
Cognitive psychologists have spent decades researching the most effective learning strategies, and there is now a pretty strong consensus forming about what works best.
It consists of:
- Spaced sessions . . .
- . . . of retrieval practice (answering questions that require students to recall information without seeing it on the page) . . . .
- . . . where students practise with a consistent test format (answering the kind of questions they will face in their final exam) . . .
- . . . receiving corrective feedback after every attempt . . .
- . . . and repeating until they reach mastery (retaking questions answered incorrectly).
