 This new research on the screen behind me suggests that when students create a visual map away from a textbook followed by free recall writing that it leads to better responses from your students. So this study technique is perfect for the exam season. So in your next lesson, why not ask your students to create a visual diagram to help them connect concepts of the things that they've been learning. This technique is perfect for tapping into deeper cognition, asking students to synthesize knowledge and kind of articulate how concepts connect together. It's also a great way to develop confidence before you ask them to respond in a deeper written kind of format. So my question to you is, how are you going to use this technique in your next lesson this term? So there's my blog summary, I'll include that in the link and there is a link to the open access PDF paper published in March, 2024.
