How can you improve your students’ ability to remember what you teach them? This resource introduces the work of Professor Sheila J. Cunningham, a psychologist at Abertay University, UK. She is investigating the effect of self-referencing on memory and how this can be used in the classroom. The resource includes activity ideas for how you can apply self-referencing in your own classroom, whatever subject you teach. This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
