What Works What Doesn T Summary

In “What Works, What Doesn’t,” John Dunlosky and other researchers talk about how you study is as important as what you study. They are discussing the problems of the teachings from teachers that are not giving the appropriate techniques to use and help students learn the right strategies. In addition, they have done studies showing and giving those ways to learn, after reading seven hundred articles with ten similar strategies. However, to receive the recommendation there must be learning conditions such as working in groups or alone, age, abilities, and level of Knowledge. In the process we are going to discuss Self-testing, Distributed practice, Elaborative interrogation, Self-Explanation, Interleaved practice, Highlighting, Summarization, Rereading, Imagery, Keyword mnemonic

The most effective techniques they have found that works the best. First self-testing which is like you’re testing yourself with flashcards or simple questions. Second distributed practice instead of cramming your learning over time. Third elaborative interrogation you’re asking questions about the situation with ‘Why?”. Fourth self-explanation, it’s like a self-talk or a mental process. Fifth interleaved practice is mixing questions like on a test, for example in geometry

The first technique is highlighting and underlining were marked not used the best way on using highlighting or underlining was putting them onto flashcards. The second technique mentioned that doesn’t work, and students should do instead is. Rereading doesn’t fully work you will constantly keep reading something repeatedly to the point that you won’t comprehend it, so instead, we should try elaboration, interrogation, self-explanation and practice testing as an alternative. The other techniques that are suspected are Imagery, Keyword mnemonic, and Summarization they are all time consuming and doesn’t seem to stick for the long
