Improving Students’ Learning With Effective Learning Techniques: Promising Directions From Cognitive and Educational Psychology – Association for Psychological Science

Parents and teachers want to help students succeed, but there is little guidance on which learning techniques are the most effective for improving educational outcomes. This leads students to implement studying strategies that are often ineffective, resulting in minimal gains in performance. What then are the best strategies to help struggling students learn? Fortunately for students, parents, and teachers, psychological scientists have developed and evaluated the effectiveness of a wide range of learning techniques meant to enhance academic performance. The authors describe each learning technique in detail and discuss the conditions under which each technique is most successful.

These are accessible to a wide range of students. There are three parts covering Years One and Two, Years Three and Four, and Years Five and Six. The problems are intended to challenge students and extend their thinking. Whilst some of them may be solved fairly quickly, others will need perseverance and may extend beyond a single lesson. Students may need to draw on a range of skills to solve the problems. Many of the problems can be extended by asking ‘What if ....?’. The introduction deals with aspects of classroom organisation, fitting the problems and puzzles into the termly planning, and the three part lesson. Learning objectives appropriate to each problem are indicated so relevant problems can be integrated into the main teaching programme. Working Scientifically in the Primary Classroom.

SOLO Taxonomy (structure of observed learning outcomes) provides a simple, reliable and robust model for three levels of understanding – surface deep and conceptual (Biggs and Collis 1982).

SOLO Taxonomy

At the prestructural level of understanding, the task is inappropriately attacked, and the student has missed the point or needs help to start. The next two levels, unistructural and multistructural are associated with bringing in information (surface understanding). At the unistructural level, one aspect of the task is picked up, and student understanding is disconnected and limited. The jump to the multistructural level is quantitative. At the multistuctural level, several aspects of the task are known but their relationships to each other and the whole are missed. HookED uses a unique classroom based approach to SOLO Taxonomy.

Your attention is focused on the movements of your body, the power of your muscles, the force of your lungs, and the feel of the street beneath your feet. You are living in the moment, utterly absorbed in the present activity. Time seems to fall away. You are tired, but you barely notice. According to positive psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, what you are experiencing in that moment is known as flow, a state of complete immersion in an activity.

He describes the mental state of flow as "being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. Professional Learning & Community for Educators.
