Anna Jakobsson; Jenny Loberg; Maria Kjörk – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
Retrieval-based learning, using tests for content review, frequently proves more effective for knowledge retention compared to alternative methods. Extensive research has explored this with older students, often in contrast to more passive techniques like rereading or note rewriting, typically focusing on vocabulary content, in non-classroom…

Leah Ann Bryars – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The ability to communicate well through writing has never been more critical. Writing is a necessary skill to make a living and a "life."
