H O W T O M A K E L E A R N I N G S T I C K 1 4 • Research suggests optimal spacing depends on targeted retention interval. • Retention is highest when spacing of retrieval practice is about 10-20% of retention interval: Target Retention Optimal Retrieval Practice 1 week 1 day 1 year 2 months Kang, 2016

- 19. 1 9 Least Effective • Generic, programmed responses (ex. good job, try again). • Simply showing correct vs. incorrect answers without contextualizing the response based on an individual student’s understanding. • Delayed too long. • Students aren’t given a chance to reuse newly gained knowledge. 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 1 9 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).
- 20. 2 0 Use frequent (low-stakes) quizzing that count toward course grade. Create study tools that incorporate retrieval practice, generation, and reflection. Design exercises that require students to revisit earlier concepts. APPLYING RETRIEVAL PRACTICE TECHNIQUES H O W T O M A K E L E A R N I N G S T I C K
