How do children remember the activities that make up their classroom life and how does their memory for classroom activities interact with, and shape, their memory for the curriculum content?
If we are to understand how children learn from their classroom experiences, we need to understand how their memories interpret and shape those experiences. Understanding how memory works is critical to understanding how children learn.
How Children Remember What They Learn in School looks at how classroom activities shape children's memories and at how teachers can manage children's experiences in ways that will improve their ability to remember and use what they remember.
The children in the study are in Years 6-8.
Graham Nuthall is Professor of Education at the University of Canterbury. He has carried out numerous studies of teaching and learning in school classrooms developing, with Professor Adrienne Alton-Lee, increasingly sophisticated ways of observing, recording, and analysing how students learn and how teachers affect that learning.
