Just a bad memory???

Remembering things can be hard to do and yet we expect our students to remember everything we teach! When they fail to remember we wonder what their problem is...well maybe its not all their problem! Consider some facts about the retention of information:



What we retain when we are:



Reading 16%

Seeing 20%

Hearing 30%

Seeing-Hearing 50%

Seeing-Hearing-Responding 70%

Seeing-Hearing-Responding-Doing 90%



As you can see...the more you do with your subject the better your students will retain. Don't get into a rut of the same old thing. Encourage learning by making it new, exciting and by actively engaging your students
