Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 This is one of the papers I read available online at the active learning site at http://www.active-learning-site.com/sum1.htm I was hypothesizing what if one could triple retention by halving lecture density. I have no idea what the actual rates of change are, except that they could be two letter grades. These studies do not speak of any time spent outside class learning additional material, so I think the total material studied was what was presented in lecture. Yet the group that got only 50% new material in lecture retained so much more that they did better when administered the exact same test as the group that got 90% new material.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Thanks Rory - I found this site useful. Another area to do searches on is the idea of reflection and review in medical education. It can be a poewrful experience to spend a small amount of time reflecting on the lecture and diong a review of what occured during the learning experience.

I was very surpised that students immediately did exactly what they were supposed to and when we reconvened, there were some ghood questions and we proceeded with greater clarity insured. Most students conferred with their neighbor about notes, concepts, etc. I was thinking I should give some more guidelines about how to use the time, but I thought it was productive. We'll see if it affects retention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
