Cognitive Science: Which Revision Techniques actually work and why?

This PowerPoint presentation is ideal for an assembly or a talk to parents of any exam cohort. It could also be used for an hour’s lesson if students were to try different techniques as they are introduced on the screen live. We actually also used it for Staff CPD to help them guide students revision lessons - it worked really well and staff appreciated having guidance to ensure the tasks they are setting in revision lessons are valuable.

It is simple and clear and grounds all the suggested techniques in the cognitive science research into which revision techniques actually work and why, It means students can have confidence that the revision tasks they are completing actually have a high chance of making knowledge stick and ensuring they retain key information they will need for their exams.

It has worked really well with our students and hopefully it can save you a little bit of time reinventing the wheel.

Thanks for taking a look :)
