Questions 10 and 11
• Students need to construct own interpretation of new information
• The act of using information, manipulating it, enhances ability to recall/use in future

The Way the Brain Works
• Short term memory – Limited and requires more effort
![Page 7: How Can We Use the Lecture Format to Improve Student Learning?](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8a5503460f94a70554/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Way the Brain Works
• Short term memory – Limited and requires more effort
• Longer term storage – Store new information with similar – Need to understand new information first
![Page 8: How Can We Use the Lecture Format to Improve Student Learning?](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d8a5503460f94a70554/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Way the Brain Works
• Short term memory – Limited and requires more effort
• Longer term storage – Store new information with similar – Need to understand new information first
• Neural pathways get stronger with use– Better retention and access

Note Taking
• Many students lack the ability to take good notes– Students typically get 20-40% of main points
• Partly lack of experience– Can teach

If Lecture Sounds like TTNZAKGM
• Give up, tune out
• Try to copy everything
• Don’t understand enough to ask a meaningful question

Question 13
• Attention/absorption declines after 15 minutes– And even earlier with new material
• 50 minute class– Student notes for last 15 minutes have half the
content of the notes for first 15 minutes
