11 Learning to Remember
Forgetting is frustrating, especially for teachers and students, when they spend so much of their time being diligent in the pursuit of learning that the recall often falls through the cracks. This chapter explores why that happens. Specifically, it provides you with strategies to help students remember much more. But is it the student's job to figure out how best to recall learning? Or is the teacher's job to teach better recall skills? The answer is both. You must provide students with a framework of how best to learn by offering them study skills and lifelong learning skills. Once you introduce these skills, students must practice them.
MEMORY MADE EASY
How do students store and recall their learning? Here, we focus on the key understandings that you'll need to take into your classroom. First, the brain does not recall everything. The brain's business is survival: it focuses on locomotion, navigation, tool use, dangerous smells, friendly versus unfriendly faces, and highly relevant information. This is why you always remember how to walk, run, feed yourself, find your way home, recognize your loved ones, and know when it's payday. Those things you simply don't forget.
Now put yourself in your students' shoes. Most students have an easier time remembering passwords and names of characters than the quadratic formula and the process of photosynthesis. What this means is that you have to better under stand what drives the brain to store things and then use pertinent strategies in class in order to help students remember their schoolwork.
