H O W T O M A K E L E A R N I N G S T I C K 1 8 • Research suggests optimal spacing depends on targeted retention interval. • Retention is highest when spacing of retrieval practice is about 10-20% of retention interval: Kang, 2016; Logan & Balota, 2008 Target Retention Optimal Retrieval Practice 1 week 1 day 1 year 2 months

WHAT TYPE OF FEEDBACK WORKS? H O W T O M A K E L E A R N I N G S T I C K 2 4 Hattie & Timperley, 2007 Most Effective • Corrective feedback specifically relating to goals. • Forward-thinking: What can be done to improve? What next? • Focuses on process, not results • Involves the students (allows them to reflect and discuss on their thinking process).
- 25. 2 5 Use frequent (low-stakes) quizzing that count toward course grade. Create study tools that incorporate retrieval practice, generation, and reflection.
