A Conceptual Replication Of Survey Research On Study Strategies In A Diverse, Non-Weird Student Population., Roberta Ekuni, Bruno Miguel Nogueira De Souza, Pooja K. Agarwal, Sabine Pompeia

In survey research from western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) populations, students report predominantly studying by rereading, highlighting, and summarizing, which are generally inefficient for long-term learning. It is unknown, however, whether, and to what extent diversity, in the form of cultural context, socioeconomic status (SES) and sex, affect choice of study technique. In this exploratory study, we investigated the frequency of use of 10 common study strategies used by WEIRD students in a sample of respondents (N=795) from a developing country (Brazil). We also examined if SES and sex influenced study choices. A similar pattern of study strategy …

Retrieval Practice Consistently Benefits Student Learning: A Systematic Review Of Applied Research In Schools And Classrooms, Pooja K. Agarwal, Ludmila D. Nunes, Janell R. Blunt Mar 2021

Retrieval Practice Consistently Benefits Student Learning: A Systematic Review Of Applied Research In Schools And Classrooms, Pooja K. Agarwal, Ludmila D. Nunes, Janell R. Blunt

Faculty Works

Given the growing interest in retrieval practice among educators, it is valuable to know when retrieval practice does and does not improve student learning—particularly for educators who have limited classroom time and resources. In this literature review, we developed a narrow operational definition for “classroom research” compared to previous reviews of the literature. We screened nearly 2,000 abstracts and systematically coded 50 experiments to establish a clearer picture of benefits from retrieval practice in real world educational settings. Our review yielded 49 effect sizes and a total n = 5,374, the majority of which (57%) revealed medium or large benefits …

Several items to note this year: While the increasing overall enrollment trend of the past several years reversed this year due to the impact of Covid, this trend was not universal. Certain programs had steady enrollment and even increased enrollment compared to last year (see …

Retrieval Practice & Bloom’S Taxonomy: Do Students Need Fact Knowledge Before Higher Order Learning?, Pooja K. Agarwal Feb 2019

Retrieval Practice & Bloom’S Taxonomy: Do Students Need Fact Knowledge Before Higher Order Learning?, Pooja K. Agarwal

Faculty Works

The development of students’ higher order learning is a critical component of education. For decades, educators and scientists have engaged in an ongoing debate about whether higher order learning can only be enhanced by building a base of factual knowledge (analogous to Bloom’s taxonomy) or whether higher order learning can be enhanced directly by engaging in complex questioning and materials. The relationship between fact learning and higher order learning is often speculated, but empirically unknown. In this study, middle school students and college students engaged in retrieval practice with fact questions, higher order questions, or a mix of question types …

Benefits From Retrieval Practice Are Greater For Students With Lower Working Memory Capacity, Pooja K. Agarwal, Jason R. Finley, Nathan S. Rose, Henry L. Roediger Iii Jan 2017

Benefits From Retrieval Practice Are Greater For Students With Lower Working Memory Capacity, Pooja K. Agarwal, Jason R. Finley, Nathan S. Rose, Henry L. Roediger Iii

Faculty Works

We examined the effects of retrieval practice for students who varied in working memory capacity as a function of the lag between study of material and its initial test, whether or not feedback was given after the test, and the retention interval of the final test. We sought to determine whether a blend of these conditions exists that maximizes benefits from retrieval practice for lower and higher working memory capacity students. College students learned general knowledge facts and then restudied the facts or were tested on them (with or without feedback) at lags of 0-9 intervening items. Final cued recall …
