Introduction & Instructions:
Continuing our discussion and exploration of retrieval practice in human learning, this episode of The Cult of Pedagogy Podcast episode features Dr. Pooja Agarwal, a cognitive scientist and founder of RetrievalPractice.org. According to research, nothing cements long-term learning as powerfully as retrieval practice. Agarwal describes several retrieval practices teachers can use in the classroom to promote student learning. After listening to the episode, I encourage you to browse the free resources and downloads at RetrievalPractice.org (Links to an external site.).
