| Abstract Title: | Using Spaced Recall to Encourage Expert Practice |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Introductory physics students were shown an example problem and asked to recall the solution from memory over a period of weeks, with feedback after each attempt. The structure of this activity was designed to reward expert practices that benefit the long-term retention of information. For example, reasoning with a diagram to form the proper equation, rather than just memorizing the equation. This poster will show data from a class of 15 students, as well as the analysis of four videotaped interviews. |
