Chapter 14: Spaced practice in classrooms

Chapter 14, titled "Spaced Practice in Classrooms", also known as distributed practice, is an effective learning strategy that involves spreading out study sessions over time rather than cramming information in a single sitting. Psychological research has shown that students who engage in spaced practice tend to remember and retain information for the long term more effectively than those who cram. The chapter outlines the strategy and implementation of spaced practice in the classroom. Some of the key benefits associated with spaced practice include strong retrieval strength, reduced forgetfulness, enhanced learning efficiency, and improved long-term retention. The chapter also discusses some challenges associated with spaced practice, such as the potential for procrastination, lack of immediate gratification, and time constraints. Spaced learning tools are increasingly accessible to learners worldwide, featuring multilingual support and culturally relevant content.
