10. EXAMPLE OF SPACED RETRIEVAL IN
LESSONS
FROM MR THARBY ON THE LEARNING SCIENTISTS
At the beginning of a class:
Q1-Q3 - retrieval of information from the previous
class/flipped homework
Q4 - retrieval of information from last week
Q5 - retrieval of information from last month
Q6 - make a link between information from last
class and previously learned information

11. Embedding Spacing and
Interleaving
Plan starter activities based on content from previous units.
Design schemes of learning which factor in time to reteach/review content.
Less terminal revision, more reviewing during units.
Use cumulative exams and quizzes throughout the unit.
Lagged homework
Mix up the order of practice problems for greater retention.
When planning learning, vary practice: -Teacher input –Student recall – Application.
Pilot spaced learning with a group and compare outcomes with a similar group.
Multiple exposures –students need 3-4 exposures to information over time. (Hattie)
Use programmes like Quizlet for frequent low stakes quizzes.
