2. What is the name of the academic who said CLT is the most important bit of research every teacher should know?
4. What are the 3 types of cognitive load?
5. What is the most effective technique to get knowledge into the long term memory?
6. Create a definition for Cognitive Load Theory
3. What are the 2 key issues for teachers when thinking about Cognitive Load Theory?

Three rules
1. Information is organised in such a way
as pupils are ‘clued’ into
relationships/patterns/themes/topics/seq
uences in readiness for what is to come
2. ‘Less is more’
3. Focus on tier 3 vocabulary

King Lear is an elderly monarch, tired of
carrying the burden of his kingdom and his
royal responsibilities, and desiring a more
peaceful life in his old age. He decides to
abdicate and to give his crown away and
divide the realm between his three daughters;
Regan, Cordelia and Goneril.
In order to ascertain who will be given which
areas of land, Lear conceives a “love-test” for
which each daughter must convince their father
that they love him the most out of his three
children.

Improving long term memory: Retrieval
practice (DNA Quiz)
![Page 39: Cognitive Load Theory (CLT)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012419/6173aaf46827226d8f73a63f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Training Activity 8:
“Repeatedly retrieving content, which
amounted to only two or three extra retrievals
in this experiment, produced about a 150 %
improvement in long-term retention.”
“Retrieval processes must be considered in any analysis of learning, and incorporating retrieval into educational activities represents a powerful way to enhance learning”.

5. Knowledge Organisers
Text see spacing between lines as key to easy reading use a grid (Tip: use a table to design everything - then delete table ‘lines’) 2 font types max - mix serif and sans serif left align (alignment completely transforms how easy it is to read) chunk / design natural hierarchies
confuse larger bold text as easier to read use comic sans! use more than 2 different font types use bullet points (empty of meaning - use numbered statements instead)
Colour use one colour extra only (after black) colour code (black plus one colour you choose)
colour in text boxes or put coloured text on top of coloured box) use too many colours when colour coding
Pictures promote use of icons to illustrate concepts try to draw your own images/icons
put extra images in as filler!
Amount allow plenty of white space to remain think “less is more”
clutter the page with too much material that is not organised coherently overfill page
Lines use lines of maximum 0.5 thickness use deep margins and borders
use tables but leave all the lines in put text right unto page edge
Remember think communication is key
think artistic talent is key
Do Don’t
