I’m excited to share that I will be considering accepting a new graduate student for the upcoming application cycle. My research focuses on learning, metacognition, and education. Application Deadline: January 1st. https://t.co/nE5LQ38jEz

Took a little winter road trip and listened to @Grandaddy's terrific new album, Blu Wav, on repeat. @jasonlytle and crew have done it again! Cheers from Bozeman

⭐️⭐️ Early contender for most useful study of the year⭐️⭐️

15 ways to use PowerPoint more effectively for learning. Very practical tips.

Will blog about it soon, but in the meantime check out table 6 in the study. It’s not behind a paywall either 🔐🤩

Sad to hear of the passing of Endel Tulving. He had a MASSIVE impact on the scientific study of human memory and paved the way for so many in the field, including myself.

Article Review: Pretesting Enhances Learning in the Classroom

An article review of a study looking at the impact of pretesting on student attention, self-regulated study, and learning.

@teacherknowles1 There actually hasn't been much classroom research on pretesting. Posttesting, yes, but not pretestting.

[Nick Soderstrom @NickSoderstrom]

To all my fellow educators: Elizabeth Bjork and I just published a CLASSROOM STUDY showing that students' learning can profit *significantly* from short, low-stakes pretests (given right before lectures). Questions/comments are always welcome! https://t.co/xltidX8xwA

[Nick Soderstrom @NickSoderstrom]

@Mr_N_Wood @Mr_AlmondED I just think college students are likely to spend more time studying on their own compared to younger students (generally speaking, of course). Motivation is certianly a factor, but time constraints and expectations undoubtedly play a role, too.

[Nick Soderstrom @NickSoderstrom]

@isaacmoore7 Hi Isaac! Does the link not direct you to a readable version of the manuscript? This is the first time I've used this type of "shareable" link from the publisher.

[Nick Soderstrom @NickSoderstrom]

@Mr_AlmondED Great question! I think it could be effective for younger students, but perhaps not *as* effective. We think pretesting drives 1. increased attention during subsequent lessons, and 2. enhanced effort in studying pretested material after class (might be more relevant to older Ss).

[Nick Soderstrom @NickSoderstrom]

@BradleyKBusch Done!

When will this madness end?!

[Nick Soderstrom @NickSoderstrom]

I just heard someone say that if a child is running around the classroom and not listening to the teacher, perhaps the kid isn't an auditory learner. And...

[Nick Soderstrom @NickSoderstrom]

...if the kid is a visual learner, the teacher should use hand signals or give the kid a picture of a chair.

HUGELY excited that we can finally reveal this gamechanging resource for KS3 science.

Every week, a different head of science or senior leader calls me asking for help with KS3 resourced.

Springboard Science is the answer.

Read on for why it's just so revolutionary:
