051 Retrieval Practice & Metacognition Translation

Release Date:  May 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

Episode Synopsis

This month we are thinking… about thinking. We read a review of the applied research on retrieval practice, which recognizes the difference between “learning” something and “knowing” something. We reflect on the ways this has played out in our classrooms, and what we can learn from recent studies for how to improve our use of the technique.

Later, we read a piece on translational research that makes recommendations for how to help students improve their ability to engage in metacognition.
