Metacognition can refer to a student’s ability to be aware of and reflect upon what they are thinking about as well as how to choose a helpful thought process with which to act upon. Evidence shows that students who use metacognitive thinking strategies improve in a range of subjects, making Metacognition one of the most cost-effective ways to help students improve their learning. This topic will support you in developing these skills in your students, helping them improve their academic performance and strategic thinking.

Spacing is a technique used to improve memory and learning by spreading out study over time, rather than cramming and overloading working memory. Interleaving involves practicing multiple skills or concepts within a single study session, as opposed to focusing on one at a time. Dual Coding combines verbal and visual information to create a more memorable learning experience. This topic will enable you to teach your students these techniques to promote better information retention when they need it most.

Cold-Calling is a teaching strategy that can significantly enhance student engagement and participation. It involves selecting a student to answer a question or contribute to the discussion, whether they have volunteered to do so or not. Within an education setting, Wait Time is the time between a teacher asking a question and calling out to get a response from a student. These resources have been designed to provide you with an in-depth understanding of Cold-Calling techniques and strategies as well as to emphasise the importance of managing your Wait Times when you Cold-Call in your classroom.

Cognitive Load Theory highlights that all information first has to go through our working memory, which has a limited capacity. Too much information can overload students' brain, which can hinder or even completely halt transfer to their long-term memory – which is where learning happens. This topic will give you an insight into how memory works and help you understand how to present information to avoid cognitive overload.

Good feedback helps students understand their strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and ultimately improve their performance. This topic will teach you how to make your feedback actionable, process-focused and promote a Growth Mindset in your students. In addition, you will learn how to use effective feedback to empower your students to take ownership of their learning and increase their motivation.

Retrieval Practice is a technique that can help improve your students’ memory and learning by encouraging them to actively recall information from memory, rather than passively re-reading or reviewing it. Retrieval Practice insists on students generating an answer to a question, making it an effective revision strategy. This topic will teach you how to use this technique in your classroom to strengthen your students’ ability to memorise information.

The use of Growth Mindset Theory in schools can help to create a positive learning environment where students feel empowered to take ownership of their learning. By teaching students to focus on effort and progress, rather than innate ability, teachers can help students overcome obstacles and achieve greater academic success. Using the resources in this topic will help you incorporate Growth Mindset principles in the classroom.

A common barrier to learning amongst students relates to worry around transition and periods of stress during exams.
