Spaced practice or spaced repetition.
WILEY INTERNATIONAL LITERACY ASSOCIATION.
Date paper was written: February 1984
My understanding of the topic:
This is some practices known as spaced practice or distributed practice. By “spacing” learning
activities out over time for example, 1 to 2 hours every other day,
or at least once per week, rather than a 12-hour marathon cramming session, you
will be able to learn more information and retain it longer.
Undoubtedly,
the spaced repetition method is far better than cramming everything
in a single study session. That said it is good to note that, manually
planning these repetitions can be quite overwhelming. Retention
is automatic with comprehension and can be predicted by analyzing the text structure,
others suggest by interacting factors meaning learning directly and indirectly
is a better way to study.
Using student-constructed questions to encourage active
reading.
Learners have the opportunity to think and analyse the
information critically wider viewpoint linked to critical evaluate.
This paper was aimed at
students in this paper the reading specialist supports, supplements and
extends classroom teaching, and works collaboratively to implement a quality
reading program that is research based and meets the needs of students.
Other points of view: examine text more closely to test our
understanding. Self questioning teaching strategies. Can help you learn faster.
Useful to note down facts- who, what, where, when, list,
show, tell, write, identify. Source: 410 Journal of Reading February
2. Understanding-
what is the cause effect, compare, contrast, distinguish, explain, show how ,why?
3. Analysis understand the parts -analyse, categorize,
classify, distinguish, compare, contrast.
4. Synthesis understand the whole -create, make up, suggest,
infer.
5. Evaluation- decide, select, evaluate, judge, what do you
think, what would you do if. Inferential
comprehension
Other views on this topic would be that not all people learn the same
way.
I would agree with this author as it was very helpful and interesting I think everyone should try and see if any of the study tips works for them.
How do they differ? Kintsch and van Dijk 1978, Rumelhar 1977 theorist suggest that retention
is automatic with comprehension and can be predicted by analysing the text structure,
while others suggest by interacting
factors learning directly and indirectly is a better way to study.

Brown Campione and Days 1981 interactive Model of learning.
Text includes four factors:
The nature of the material,
The characteristics of the learner,
The learning activities applied (cognitive learning
strategies and study skills),
and the task by which learning is measured.
Retention may vary quantitatively and qualitative.
whenever one factor changes. Questioning during reading
involves the third interactive factor learning activities. The use of questions
to improve text retention has long been recognized as helpful (Thorndike, 1917)
and much research has tried to determine the optimal conditions for questioning
Anderson and Biddle, 1975. Of more use in most learning situations, however, is
having readers generate questions
What don’t you understand? Why they think it’s a better
option to scan rather than to be able to take in all the information they want
you to take In the main information so you don’t get overloaded with the
information.
Useful aspect of this was different strategies for studying using self
questioning, sentence analysis, student discussions, group competition,
request, acronym
Challenging part? Was to pull the most important details on
concepts from the pages.
I applied my first two readings when tackling the third by
recognizing when I see something I’ve read before that it registers and I take
note because its relevant information and to see when I don’t understand
something and can highlight and remind myself.

To begin with my feedback, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this blog post about active reading. The post is very clearly laid out, and the paragraphs are concise and informative. I particularly like the way that you ask yourself questions and then seek the answers. It's clear to me from reading this, that you have read and understood the article. Something I would advise is to use more images, as personally, I enjoy reading things a lot more when the text is accompanied by an image or an infographic. I think it makes the blog a lot more aesthetically pleasing. I feel that if you included more of a personal aspect, that would make the blog seem a lot more opinionated. I'm curious to know how reading this article affected you, and what you learnt from writing this blog post. I think if you added a more personal aspect to this, it would have a perfect balance of information and opinion. Overall, though, I enjoyed reading this and in my opinion it is a very good blog about the article, because I know how difficult it is to understand the article well enough to write a 400-600 word blog about it. You did a really good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your feedback I really appreciate it! :)
DeleteI really enjoyed reading Kelly's blog about active reading because right from the start Kelly’s writing had me hooked and fully engaged. Kelly presented her layout in her blog very well which made it easier to read. I liked when Kelly broke down facts into bullet points to make it more precise. When Kelly gave her point of view it showed that she researched her topic thoroughly and it made her blog more relatable. I learned about spacing learning activities and spaced repetition. Kelly also discussed how important note taking is for learning, this is a very important piece of information because how would we remember our work if we didn’t take notes? I would love if Kelly gave more of her own opinion on her research into active reading because when she did portray her thoughts it made the blog more accessible and a more enjoyable read and as Kelly wrote a long blog it would be nice if she attached more images to break up the writing so that it flowed better but all in all, I feel Kelly did a wonderful job putting this blog together as she had to research a lot of dialogue and video’s and it is very hard to condense so much information into 600 words, great job Kelly! Maith an Cailin!
