SPACED LEARNING is a methodology useful to seize information in long term memory (Fields 2005). It consists of providing information in short busts, spaced over time. The structure of the class time is the following:
- Teacher presents the information
- 10 to 5 minutes break
- Students recall information
- 10 to 5 minute break
- Students application of the information
This methodology comes from the need of attracting the students' attention and making them remember. It is proved that our brain cannot concentrate for long periods of time and the results of this method are amazing. It is true that it can be difficult to get the students back to the lesson after the breaks but we will only know if we try!
