Recall Reinforces Learning: Evidence for Retrieval Practice. An Interview with Jeff Karpicke.

Teaching for Student Success

Dr. Jeff Karpicke of Purdue University discusses his research on retrieval based learning showing that repeated testing of students without repeated study sessions results in higher rates of learning over the long term compared to students who repeatedly study but are not tested. This discussion might alter the way you think about studying and learning and might force you to reconsider how the structure of your course impacts student learning and student success. If you teach, if you learn, this episode is a must listen!
