| Description | Dr. Diane F. Halpern from Claremont McKenna College discusses the need to teach students for long-term retention and transfer, especially when the goal is to have students apply their knowledge to a wide range of issues in varied contexts. Dr. Diane F. Halpern suggests that to have long-lasting positive effects on students teachers must apply basic principles from the science of learning. She discusses how empirically-validated studies of learning have shown the benefits of spaced review, practice at retrieval, overlearning, varied examples presented without the usual classroom retrieval cues, meaningful processing, and use of multiple representations. |
